Intellectual ideals and practice of Swami Vivekananda: Their relevance and necessity

Abstract

The present paper discusses what kind of intellectualism and practical spirit Vivekananda talked about, and how his vision has been confined and how his intellectualism has become monopoly of some narrower sectarian groups and people. The other questions to be discussed in this paper are, a) is there a relevance of his philosophy? and b) why it is necessary for our present condition of nation and world at large.
