His legacy and relevance in the contemporary world • Makarand Paranjape talks about his book on Swami Vivekananda • 00:00 Opening remarks by Makarand Paranjape • 24:16 Conversation with M K Raghavendra • 1:03:45 Q A with audience • Arguably, the greatest achievement of Swami Vivekananda, one of the most celebrated icons of modern India, was the reconstruction of Hinduism. This he accomplished by reforming the religion in India and changing its image in the West. • This talk will try to get to the heart of Swami Vivekananda’s legacy and his relevance in the contemporary world. It will examine hitherto lesser-known aspects of Swamiji’s life and work, including his contributions to practical Vedanta, universal religion, science-spirituality and inter-religious dialogue, dharmic secularism, educational philosophy, poetry, and, above all, to the problem of Indian modernity. • Despite the abundance of literature available on him, Swami Vivekananda is still not understood adequately, remaining somewhat of an enigma. A fresh reading of the life and times of the Swami by someone who has studied him closely, Makarand R. Paranjape’s detailed, thought-provoking account will show that in Vivekananda’s visionary thoughts lay the seeds of the creation of a modern India. • http://bangaloreinternationalcentre.o...
