Today, on our Aging & Spirituality podcast, we delve into the life and profound message of Swami Vivekananda, a captivating figure who awakened the West to the ancient Wisdom of India.

Swami Vivekananda was born Narendranath Datta and was an Indian Hindu monk, author, and religious teacher.

He introduced Vedanta and Yoga to the West and is credited with raising Hinduism’s profile to that of a world religion. He was also the chief disciple of the 19th-century mystic Ramakrishna and the founder of the Ramakrishna Mission.

But Vivekananda wasn’t just a philosopher; he was a man who wrestled with doubt, defied tradition, and ultimately achieved spiritual enlightenment. 

His story offers a powerful roadmap for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themself, the divine, and our place in the world. Listen in now for gems of yoga wisdom.
