Description
This scholarly work by John Murdoch provides a comprehensive analysis of Swami Vivekananda’s historic address at the Chicago Parliament of Religions in 1893. The book examines how Vivekananda articulated Hindu philosophy, spirituality, and teachings to a predominantly Western and Christian audience, marking a pivotal moment in the introduction of Hinduism to America.
Murdoch explores the key themes Vivekananda presented, including the nature of divinity, the path of devotion and knowledge, and the universal principles underlying Hindu spiritual practice. The examination delves into the rhetorical strategies employed, the cultural context of the address, and its profound influence on subsequent interfaith dialogue and Western understanding of Eastern religions.
Essential for scholars of comparative religion, Indian philosophy, and the history of Hindu-Western encounters, this work illuminates one of the most transformative religious presentations of the modern era and its continuing relevance to contemporary spiritual discourse.
