Question

Explain any four contributions of swami Vivekananda in the areas of socio - religious reforms.

Answer 1

Swami Vivekananda was a disciple of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Vivekananda believed in a humanist religion in which serving the poor was more important than practicing rituals. In 1895 he went to Chicago to participate in the World Religious Conference. His defense of Hinduism made an impression on the western mind. Yet as a critic of superstitious religion, he put emphasis on the revival of the ancient knowledge of the Hindus in order to restore the greatness of the Indian nation.
