God in Swami Vivekananda's Social Philosophy: A Peruse of Swamiji's Letters

Abstract

Swami Vivekananda work’s effect was to have posthumously and in that very spirit his letters continue to speak intimately to his present-day followers and inspire and impart faith to them. His thoughts and ideology can be seen through his works (speech and lectures), but a broader view can be seen form the private writings (letters), where thoughts are free to flow.  If read in chronological manner, his letters would serve as his biography as his writings were honest and spontaneous flow of thoughts. Swamiji was devoted advocator of the Vedanta and appreciated and criticised all religions in equal measures, he strongly believed in daridra-narayana-seva - a term which means service of the poor God.
