Abstract

This article analyzes Vivekananda’s concept of universal religion. In the World’s Parliament of Religions, the Indian thinker presents Hinduism and a theoretical source to support religious pluralism. Throughout his keynote speeches in the United States and Europe, we will demonstrate how Vivekananda conceives universal religion from the perspective of the Vedānta philosophy.
