     1. Introduction
     Swami Vivekananda ji is considered as one of the highest influential spiritual personality, educationist
and social and poltical thinker of India. His philosophy is based on the Indian ancient values .The roots of
Indian perspective on humanism are in the Indian schools of thoughts. Swami Vivekanandaji was a great
scholar of ancient literature including the Vedas, Puranas, Shastras and the epics. Swamiji learned and
explore the elementary questions of humanism and oneness from Ancian Indian texts. He further describes
the key phrase of oneness that can be understood by a teaching of Upanishad, “सर्वे भर्वन्तु सखु िनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामया। सर्वे
भद्रानि पश्यन्तु मा कनित् दुःु खभाग् भर्वेत।् ” In this prayer the Aadi Rishi (Ancient Saint) is praying for goodness of all, for
good health of all. Thousands of years back, Indian Guru, Rishi-Muni were praying for the welfare of the
whole world, it is an excellent example of humanism. One can only pray such only when there is a feeling
of strong oneness with the whole world. It is just beyond the thoughts that ancient India scripts discuss such
a great philosophy.
     When Swami Vivekananda went to the West his Chicago speech was initiated by, “My dear brothers
and sisters of America”. It is said that people in that assembly stood up and were clapping for a long time.
They were amazed by such address. Swamiji let them felt a relation of oneness. He brought that mass
gathering at the level of togetherness in the starting of his speech. This was totally new and wonderful
experience for the Americans. He was there to speak on Indian perspectives and he initially built a
connection with listeners. It was a bond of relation with the audience that made Swamiji highly acceptable
in the whole western world. It was the charisma of Indian teaching and values. Many of the books written
on the life of Swami Vivekananda says that, since the early childhood he started to study Indian epics and
other literature.What ancient Indian knowledge and tradition has given to the world society, Swami
Vivekananda wanted to teach Indian masses.
     Swamiji was a communicator of Vedanta Philosophy. He was also a communicator of “Advaita
Philosophy”. In the Jaffna address, Vivekananda says, “Vedanta... comprises the Upanisads; and all the
sects of India - Dualists, Qualified-Monists, Monists or the Shaivites, Vaishnavites. Shfiktas, Saunas,
Ganapatyas, each one that dares to come within the fold of Hinduism - must acknowledge the Upanisads of
the Vedas... So deeply have these Upanisads sunk into our race that those of you who study the symbology
of the crudest religion of the Hindus will be astonished to find sometimes figurative expressions of the
Upanisads (Dasgupta Rabindra Kumar, 1996, p.68). According to Swami Vivekananda, “There have been
various interpretations of the Vedanta philosophy and to my mind they have been progressive, beginning
with the dualistic or Dvaita and ending with the non-dualistic or Advaita (Vivekananda Swami, 2015
Lectures, Vol.1, p. 28). In 1881, when Swami Vivekananda meets with his Guru Swami Ramkrishna
Paramhans, the Guru recognized his pupil immediately. Vivekananda ji became the main pupil to his Guru
Swami Ramkrishna Paramhans. He assimilated himself with blessings of his Guru. He became a Sanyasi
and in 1986 after the passing of his Guru Swami Ramkrishna Pramhansji, he started travelling his own
country.

    2. Literature Review
     Swami Vivekananda was a great Indian philosopher. Many literature including books, Ph.D. thesis,
research papers, articles and other text have been written by scholars on Swami Vivekananda and his
philosophy. His teaching and speeches also have been collected and published by Adaita Asharam Almora
and other several institutions. Swamiji strongly believes in the Advaita (अद्वैत) and Vedantaa (र्वेदाांत)
Philosophy. His whole philosophy of social and political development comes from Vedanta and ancient
Indian text. Vedantaa (र्वेदाांत) is the Sanskrit word made up of two different words (र्वेद+अांत). It means End of
Vedas or End part of the Vedas. The Upanishadas are the end part of the Vedas, hence the teachings or
knowledge, philosophy of the Upanishadas is known as “The Vedanta”. “Advaita” (अद्वैत) is a school of
thoughts or a branch of the Upanishadas. The term Advaita is derived from the Sanskrit language. It has
two different words in Sanskrit, A (non, no or none) and Dvaita (Duality or Dualism) Advaita philosophy
trust on non-duality between human soul and the God. It is usually translated as non-duality or non-
secondness. This school of thoughts trusts on oneness of human Soul and super power the God. Advaita
philosophers don’t think Atma (Human Souls) and Parmatma (The Devine Soul or the God) separate. Their
teachings say that the Atma is the part of the Paramatma. It says that the Partamatma and the Atma are
one.He believed that all human beings are same and have no differences. Even Swami Vivekananda teaches
that all the sources of religions are from one super power. Therefore all religions of the worlds are equal
and the same. This wonderful philosophy astonished world’s religious legends.
     In his book, The Timeless Thoughts of Swami Vivekanandaji, Birister Sharma has written that
Vivekananda’s outspoken defense of the Hindu way life and his explanation of various facets of India
culture won him many admirers in the East and the West. Swami Vivekananda was totally against the
competitions among the different religion system. He said that Purity, Sacredness and Kindness are the best
characteristics in any religion. Swamiji told that one should take the important and good essences of other
religions and get benefit of it. Swami Vivekanandaji has been the champion of Indian spirituality all over
the world. In 1893 during the World’s Parliament of Religions he addressed the learned audience in a
charismatic manner of communication. His speech made him highly welcomed in America. He lived there
for 3 years and he teaches the west about Indian Sprituality and Philosophy. Kartik and Gaurav Upreti has
written in the book, Saving Humanity: Swami Vivekanand Perspective that, “Swami Vivekanandaji said
that all the religions are different streams which lead us to the same goal (Upreti Kartik and Upreti Gaurav,
2012, p. 117). Authors further writes that Swamiji dreamed a world of global harmony.
     Swami Vivekanandaji was not only a spiritual Guru or Saint but a great political philosopher also. His
thoughts on nationalism are highly distinguished. He supported love and devotion to the nationalism among
masses at conscious level or spiritual ground. He always thought to reestablish Indian cultural and
intellectual pride and height. Swamiji had always been great pride on ancient Indians who made this
country as the unique and best centre for intellect and culture. Swami Vivekananda also started a
renaissance by laying out the framework for the creation of New India. He inspired the world with his
thoughts in a very short span of his life. His thoughts and perspectives amazed the whole world. He was
one of the greatest nationalist philosophers. The first Prime Minister of India, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, has
said about Swami Vivekananda: "Though his roots were attached to the past and he was proud of Indian
prestige, but his modern approach to life and issues related to the ancient and present India (Dr. V.K.

Vietnam Journal for Indian and Asian Studies. Vol.3, No. 1 - 2021, pp.1-10                                     3

Maheswari, 2016). Swamiji's life was devoted to the overall development of India. That was his only
dream. In fact, Swami Vivekananda wanted to restore the past glory of India.
     When we study the thoughts of Swami Vivekananda, we find that Swamiji's vision was a great way of
overall social development. He used to think about the development of the entire nation. Swami
Vivekananda used to educate and communicate with Indian society about ancient India and its greatness of
culture and civilization. Dr. Bharthi D.Vijaya (2005) has written in his book Educationla Philosophy of
Swami Vivekananda that Vivekanada clearly said, “Education is not the amount of information that is put
into your brain and runs riot there undigested in your life. We must have life-building, man-making,
character making assimilation of ideas.” So we can see that all the time Swami Vivekanandaji spoke on
formation of character through education. His educational philosophy was also focused on human and
social development. Swamiji also used to constantly think about the problems of his country, the obstacles
of development of the country and called upon the people to come forward in the development of the
country.

    3. Results and Findings
     In the British period of colonialism in India, Swami Vivekananda established a self-respect and
confidence in the minds and hearts of Indians about the glorious tradition and culture of India. He said that
freedom is the first condition of life. Swamiji had an extraordinary knowledge of India and he
communicates it with the world. He had a deep study of the Veda, Purana and many ancient scripts.
Probably for this reason, he could communicate and connect his whole country. Gurudev Rabindranath had
said that, “if anyone wants to understand India, then he should read Swami Vivekananda (Lokeswarananda,
Swami, 1996). We can have a brief sense of his ideas, philosophy and perspectives by his teachings,
dialogue and communication on certain issues:
    3.1. Swami Vivekananda and Nationalism
     Swamiji did not love India only, but he used to pray for his motherland India. He traveled for a long
time within the country. His understandings of India came through his journies and observation of his
nation and people. He used to say that,“Every Indian is my brother”. He also said that, “Indianness is my
life”. Many of such point of views, Swami Vivekananda seem to be an ideal nationalist. He could create a
wave of patriotism within every common Indian at the time of British Empire. Wherever he goes around
the world, he would tell the world about the characteristics and pride of India. Swamiji shared his feelings
and expressions on his nation in an event in Calcutta that, “I was asked by an English friend on the eve of
my departure, “Swami, how do you like now your motherland after four year’s experience of the luxurious,
glorious, powerful West?” Swami Vivekananda ji answered that English fellow, “ I could only answer that
India, I loved before I came away, now the very dust of India has become holy to me, the very air is now to
me holy, it is now the holy land, the place of pilgrimage, the Tirtha.”
     He thought his country and its soil the Tirtha. This vision shows his very high respect for the country.
Swami Vivekananda has the great love for his nation. Swami Vivekananda always wanted to revitalize the
nation through the vitality of Indian values. He believed that Indian values can constitute the “centre, the
keynote of the whole music of national life of India.” His consistent influential thoughts as a powerful

Indian thinker played a positive role in the development of the patriotism and national self consciousness
among Indian masses. It was essentially needed during the Indian freedom struggle. His teachings continue
motivating the masses in their lives to participate in the independence fight. In this way Swami
Vivekananda ji made a great contribution to our freedom movement.
    3.2. Swami Vivekananda’s Ideas of Humanity
     Swamiji was also a great teacher of humanity. He advocated Indian perspectives of humanity always.
That time, the Indian society had many social issues including caste systems, untouchablity, divisions
among the communities, poverty and exploitations of the poors but Swamiji strongly supported ideologies
of humanity. He always educated people about humanitarian perspectives. He promoted mutual
understandings among the people at individual level as well as the unity among the different communities
of the society. It is said that once Swamiji stayed in Kota city of Rajasthan with a non-Hindu family. As his
followers came to know one among them went to Swamiji and asked why he was staying with that family
inspite of his many followers in the city, Swamiji told that he did not have any problem with his host and
they are also human beings like others.
     In many more incidents Swami Vivekanandaji teaches us about the various aspects of humanity. The
whole western world was surprised with his humanitarian philosophy and approaches of teachings. Where
ever Swamiji had a dialogue with masses or groups in the world, he always connected people relating them
with “Brother and Sisters” address. His heart was full of love for human kind.
    3.3. Swami Vivekananda as Motivator of the world
     Swamiji was a meticulous observer of the society and individual mind. He came to know that social
transformation needs a great energy and high will. He called upon the young people of India to change their
society. He said that youth should work out to build up their mental energies and physical capabilities.
Swami Vivekananda ji was a source of inspiration and motivation for the entire world. He always said that,
“All the power is within you; you can do anything and everything (Swami Jyotirmayananda, 1986, p. 16). It
is a great motivational message to us. Such philosophy builds our mental status more powerful. He said
that, “Strength is life, Weakness is death, and the greatest sin is to think yourself weak” (Swami
Vivekananda, 2015). His teachings are enough powerful that an individual can make a visible change.
Swami Vivekananda ji said that, “Three things are necessary to make every man great, every nation great
i.e. Conviction of the powers of goodness, Absence of jealousy and suspicion and Helping all who are
trying to be and do good” (Dr. Bonani Sinha, Abhishek Chaudhary, 2021, p. 280).
     Swamiji motivated us saying, “Take up one idea, make that one idea your life, think of it, dream of it,
live of it, let the brain, muscle, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea and just leave every other
idea alone. This is the way great spiritual giants are produced, others are mere talking machines” (Sachin
Sinhal, 2009, p. 74). These philosophies of Swami Vivekananda clearly explain that he was the influential
social thinker and motivators.
    3.4. Swami Vivekananda and the Concept of Oneness
     Swami Vivekanand ji promoted philosophy of Oneness by establishing this fact in religion and
humanity. The Vedanta philosophy gives the same knowledge and essence of oneness of all human beings.
At the Chicago Religion Conference, Swamiji expressed his views on religious unity. He said that, "If a
Vietnam Journal for Indian and Asian Studies. Vol.3, No. 1 - 2021, pp.1-10                                    5

person thinks that the path of religious unity is the victory of one religion and the destruction of the other
religions, and then I will request him that your hope will not be fulfilled. It is the duty of every religion to
take the essence of other religions within itself, and to protect its individuality in full, to find its
development according to the rules which have been in its own rule”. He could develop an understanding
of a vision of religious equality in the world. On the other hand, Swami Vivekananda was trying to
eliminate social discrimination with poor people. He was greatly disappointed by the pathetic living
conditions of the poors in Indian society. He said that God can be worshiped only through the service of
humanity. Swamiji explained concept of onness saying that, “One is the fulfillment of the other; one is the
building and the other is the top” (Rita D. Sherma, 2021, p. 18).
      He saw people extremely starving during his travelling in India. Swamiji always underlined the
injustice done to the various castes and the untouchables. He tried his best to remove all these evils.
Observing the horrific plight of caste-based discrimination, Swamiji had said - "Ah! What kind of religion
is this, which cannot take away the sufferings of the poor”? He gave a new approach to the Indian society
on social equality. We can find element of the oneness with others in Swami Vivekanandaji’s speeches,
talks and thoughts, He always addressed people saying, “Brothers and Sisters.” This address shows a bond
of oneness with the people or society. When the citizens of Calcutta organized a welcome program to
Swamiji, he addressd, “I would like to sit in the dust of the street of this city and with the freedom of
childhood, open my mind with you, my brothers. Yes, I am your brother and you are my brothers”
(Makrand R. Paranjape, June 2015, p. 102). Swamiji ever established a close relationship with other people
in his all communication. This concept of oneness made great acceptance and welcome to his teachings and
sayings even among all the sections of the society.
    3.5. Swami Vivekananda's views on social issues
     Swami Vivekananda was a great scholar of ancient Indian literature and text. His concept of society is
derived from Vedic philosophy. His idea of the society is based on the Indian values system. His social
philosophy is based in Karmyoga of Bhagwat Gita. He said that freedom is an eternal value of Indian
philosophy. He believed in the divine nature of man. Vivekananda seeks to establish a continuum between
society, culture and civilization. In Vivekananda's view, "The Western man is born in an individualistic
society, while the Hindu in a socialistic society, the entirely socialistic environment” (S.S. Mital, 1979, p.
84). For Swamiji, nation is a group of people so values of human dignity and respect must be developed in
everyone. He believed that man makes his own future because he has the capability of getting own liberty.
      He was a strong supporter for natural rights of human beings. He believed that everyone must have
right to knowledge, education. He points out that social reform are more important than any other things. In
this way, Gandhiji and Gokhale are near to the social ideas of Swami Vivekananda. He said that the values
of Truth, Dedication, Courage, Loyalty and Faith can make any man a real great human being. He said, the
Dharma can transform a human into a divine power. He gave five points of characters building to the youth
i.e. self-confidence, self-reliance, self-knowledge, self-mastery and self-denial. He believed that following
these five principles, young people can reconstruct the whole society.
    3.6. Swami Vivekananda's views on women's welfare

Vietnam Journal for Indian and Asian Studies. Vol.3, No. 1 - 2021, pp.1-10                                  6
Sandeep Bhatt. Swami Vivekananda: Messages and Communication to the world…

     Swami Vivekananda had deep understanding of the society. He was the great scholar of Indian values
system. Swamiji said in the context of women's development that "the welfare of the world is not possible
until the condition of women improves. It is not possible for a bird to fly through a single feather (Swami
Vivekananda, 1981, p. 201)”. In the modern era, we see that equal rights for women are being discussed
everywhere. In many countries women have got many rights to a large extent, but the circumstances were
more severe in that period. Even then Swami Vivekananda raised the issue of equal rights for women at
every level. He always strongly supported improvement in women condition in Indian society. He says,
without welfare of the women, welfare of the whole world is not possible. Swami Prabhananda ji has
written about Swami Vivekananda that he was worried about the degradation of women in India. He says
that Vivekanada ji was emphatic that women must be educated, for he believed that it is the women who
mould the next generation, and hence, the destiny of the country. Prabhananda ji has writtern that, “In the
educational scheme, for Swami Vivekananda ji, upliftment of women and the masses received the highest
priorityin India” (Prospects, Vol.33, 2003, p. 242).
    3.7. Swami Vivekananda’s political philosophy
      Swami Vivekanandaji was against the slavery. In his time colonial culture was prevailing in most of
the countries. Powerful countries were establishing their rules in several other nations. This was a game of
exploitation of resources from these colonial countries. India was under the British rule. For Swamiji,
freedom is the essential condition of development without it the very being of progress is lost. Swamiji was
strong supporter of love, peace and brotherhood in the whole world. For him all human are all equal. He
started consistent efforts to motivate Indians for freedom. As a thinker and teacher, Swami Vivekananda
has given to the country the ideal of fearlessness and strength which became effective instruments of Indian
independence struggle. His idea of nationalism is based on spiritual or moral values. His political
philosophy explains the idea of a nation and society where spiritual amd moral value based rule governs.
His ideal nation is an educated nation. He says, “Strength must come to the nation through education” (S.S.
Mital, 1979, p. 153). Swami Vivekananda’s poltical thoughts and ideas represent the cultural movements of
his time.
     Kalpana Mohapatra has written in her book, Political Philosophy of Swami Vivekananda that Swamiji
was no politician in the ordinary sense of the term yet he was one of the great founders of the modern
national movement of India. She further writes that Swamiji’s social and political thoughts were derived
from ancient Indian scriptures and stepped into oriental lines of thoughts. These thinkings are full of Indian
values. Swamiji also synthesized the ancient Indian wisdom and modern knowledge. He wanted to use this
blend for the regeneration of India. It is really unique that his political ideas inspire mankind for serving the
humanity.
    3.8. Swami Vivekananda on education
     Education is a vital social development indicator. Swami Vivekananda was promoting education for
Indian when there was British rule in the country. Millions of Indian were very poor and had no education.
A consciousness for independence was required to make freedom fight more and more influential. He said
that education must reach to the poorest section of the society. He also emphasized on physical education
for the kids. Swamiji wanted an education for Indians that can establish a real sense of humanity in them.
He said that,“The ideal of all education, all training, should be this man making. But, instead of that we are

always trying to polish up the outside. What use in polishing up the outside when there is no inside” (Dr.
Santosh Kumar Behra, 2018, p. 787). Swamiji was supporter of practical education. He said, education
must be according to the values and needs of our own. It should be for the benefits of Indians. He wanted
the basic changes in English education patterns according to the Indian perspectives and social ideals.
     For Swamiji, education is the backbone of any society. He said, education is the expression of
completeness of anyone. For him education without the moral and spiritual values can mislead society and
bring it to backwardness. He was supporting inclusion of moral and social values of Bhagwat Gita, the
Vedas and Upanishadas in education. According to the Swamiji Dharma (Religion धमम) aims the social
welfare. It is not restricted to any society, caste, and race, family, place and time. He believed that moral
values, religion and education with these values can develop students in a better way. So we can say that
thoughts of Swami Vivekananda on education are full of moral spiritual and social values. He was a
philosopher who thought education must be for the development of personality and humanity. His
educational philosophy is highly relevant forever.

    4. Conclusion
     The greatest personality like Swami Vivekanandaji comes to the world for the betterment of
humankind. Swamiji was an ideal personality. He was a great philospher and nationalist. His understanding
of India came through learnings of ancient Indian history as well as of his journies and observation.

many valuable principles to make our life meaningful. His teachings build a self-confidence, trust and faith

     We can conclude that Swami Vivekanandaji was one of the great philosophers who gave philosophical
ways of Humanism, Oneness and Nationalism to the Indians as well as to the whole world. Swamiji
transferred Indian social values to the world. He said, “Bring all light into the world; bring light! Let light
come unto everyone.” He said, “I should see God in the poor and it is for my salvation that I go and
worship them.” Swamiji explained the Vedanta and Indian perspective of life, philosophy of ancient Rishi
and Muni. Swami Vivekananda teaches Indian way of thinking and the vision to the world. On the basis of
studied literature we can say that his ideas are really charismatic. Swamiji said that, “Look upon every man,
woman and everyone as God, you cannot help anyone; you can only serve” (Mohit Chakrabarti, 2016, p.
155). We can conclude that all the thoughts, communication and teachings of Swami Vivekanandaji are
based on Vedanta and Indian values. His analysis and synthesis of spirituality, global values, education,
religion, character building, and society are very deep and important forever. His philosophy makes him
not only a great personality but also a strong foundation of global humanity.
