Neo-Vedanta Philosophy

Neo-Vedanta is a modern interpretation of traditional Indian philosophy that emphasizes the oneness of all existence. It teaches that the individual soul (Atman) and the universal spirit (Brahman) are identical, promoting spiritual unity and inner harmony. This philosophy integrates spiritual ideas with contemporary ideas, advocating that understanding our divine nature can lead to liberation and ethical living. Rather than strict ritualism, Neo-Vedanta encourages personal spiritual experience, tolerance, and universal compassion, making ancient wisdom accessible and relevant to modern life. Key figures include Swami Vivekananda, who helped popularize this inclusive and holistic approach.
