"The caste system is opposed to the religion of the Vedanta. Caste is a social custom, and all our great preachers have tried to break it down. From Buddhism downwards, every sect has preached against caste [...]"

Interview: ‘Vivekananda is the ideological nemesis of the Sangh Parivar’: Govind Krishnan V.
Govind Krishnan V.’s recently published Vivekananda: The Philosopher of Freedom is a conscious effort to challenge the Sangh Parivar’s depiction of the monk as an exemplar of right-wing values.

Swami Vivekananda is not a Sangh Parivar icon. Liberal-progressives allowed his appropriation
Capturing Vivekananda's legacy was much easier for the Sangh Parivar. The average Indian relates to him largely as a saffron-clad sanyasi. That's all RSS would like them to know, writes Yogendra Yadav.

‘Swami #Vivekananda, who represented Hinduism at the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago in 1893, took pains to depict his faith as monotheistic, in contrast to the stereotypes of its followers as “heathen” polytheists’
I daresay that most Western philosophers and cognitive scientists studying #Consciousness do not know the full extent of the historical influences on their discipline
Many folks in modern Western consciousness studies trace their history back to William James but do not know that James was deeply influenced by Swami #Vivekananda who was influenced by #Vedanta and his own guru, the great Bengali mystical saint Sri #Ramakrishna
Thus modern consciousness studies has a deeply #Hindu origin story

“When I think of [Sri Ramakrishna], I feel like a fool, because I wanted to read books and he never did… . He was his own book.” ~ Swami Vivekananda
“[Sri Ramakrishna] taught them the technique of reading one’s life like a book rather than depending solely on the scriptures, or swallowing others’ ideas.” ~ Swami Chetenananda
How foolish we “intellectuals” are for thinking the answer to our spiritual problems lies in books!

“The householder by digging tanks, by planting trees on the roadsides, by establishing rest-houses for men and animals, by making roads and building bridges, goes towards the same goal as the greatest Yogi.”

“If you wish to draw profit, read with humility, simplicity, and faith, and never with the design of gaining a reputation for learning.”
~ The Imitation of Christ
In his period of wandering, Swami #Vivekananda carried but two books: The Bhagavad Gita, and The Imitation of Christ
He had a prodigious memory, fierce intellect, voracious appetite for learning, and was widely read in traditions West and East
But he sailed far beyond the limitations of mere academic learning

"All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do any thing and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you."
