Hindu spirituality deals with body, mind, and soul while other religions preach only about surface knowledge of peace, love, and inter-relationships of humans, it only revolves around the body and its pleasures. Swami Vivekanand introduced the world with the concept of oneness, soul and sole reason for taking birth as humans. The new concept of his inspired the people across the globe and they got to know true realms of life through meditation and spiritual science of Hinduism.

Some of the main contributions that Swamiji made to the modern world are mentioned below:

New Understanding of Dharma

One of the most important additions of Swami Vivekananda to the modern world is his interpretation of religion as a universal experience of transcendent Reality, common to all humanity.

 View of Being a Man

Vivekananda’s Hindu concept of ‘potential divinity of the soul’ gives a new, ennobling concept of man. The present age is the age of humanism which holds that man should be the chief concern and center for all activities and thinking.

The prevalent morality, in both individual life and social life, is mostly based on fear – fear of the police, fear of public ridicule, fear of God’s punishment, fear of Karma, and so on.
