Swami Vivekananda considered Advaita Vedānta to be the religious
philosophy for the modern world. In a letter written to E. T. Sturdy from
New York in Aug. 1895, the Swami says, “That religious ferment which at
present is every day gaining a greater hold over thinking men, has this
characteristic that all the little thought-whirlpools into which it has broken
itself declare one single aim—a vision and a search after the Unity of
Being. On planes physical, ethical, and spiritual, an ever-broadening
generalisation—leading up to a concept of Unity Eternal—is in the air; and
this being so, all the movements of the time may be taken to represent,
knowingly or unknowingly, the noblest philosophy of the unity man ever
had—the Advaita Vedānta.”
