Swami Vivekananda was never concerned with world-negating spirituality distanced from the din and bustle of daily living. He was intensely perturbed by the endless suffering of mankind and discovered that the root of all suffering lies in ignorance, disharmony, divisiveness and confinement of consciousness within finitude. His esoteric experience of the Advaita philosophy of Vedanta offered him a unique panacea. In the light of his experience of cosmic consciousness, he found a bridge between science and spirituality, between religions and between the mundane and divine. From absolutely secular, scientific and experiential philosophy he developed the concept of practical Vedanta as a formula for living.
Swamiji prescribed the following motto of life as Self-realisation and selfless service to “Atmano mokshartham jagaddhitaya cha.” The twofold complementary agenda can be best practiced with the concept of practical Vedanta which is not a religious but a spiritual formula for all.
