The Light of India

"The Light of India" often refers to the philosopher and poet Swami Vivekananda, who is celebrated for his teachings on spirituality, Hindu philosophy, and national identity. He gained international recognition after addressing the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893, where he presented India’s spiritual heritage. His ideas emphasized self-realization, social reform, and the importance of education. Vivekananda sought to inspire a sense of pride in Indian culture and spirituality, hence the title "Light of India," symbolizing enlightenment and progress for the nation and its people. His legacy continues to influence modern Indian thought and global spirituality.
