He accepted
what was good or true wherever he saw it, in whatever religion or culture, from whatever
person regardless of their background. He spoke of the good in many different religions,
including Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. He admired what was valuable in Western
science and philosophy, and praised even atheists for their intellectual contributions,
humanism and free thinking.
Yet this does not mean that Vivekananda merely approved of all religions or thought that
all religious practices are equal or good. He criticized the dogma and church bound
authoritarianism of Christianity and, for this reason, a number of Christians sought to
discredit him in the West. In India he worked to counter the influence of Christian
missionaries who were trying to convert the country and destroy the faith of Hindus in
their own greater culture and spiritual heritage. |
