A Study of Religion by Swami Vivekananda is a profound exploration of the essence, purpose, and universality of religion. Delivered as a series of lectures, it emphasizes the spiritual unity underlying diverse religious traditions, advocating harmony and mutual respect. Vivekananda analyzes the fundamental principles of religion, such as faith, worship, and morality, while critiquing dogmatism and sectarianism. He highlights Vedanta's inclusive philosophy, asserting the oneness of existence and the divinity inherent in every individual. The work serves as a timeless guide to understanding religion as a means of self-realization and universal brotherhood, transcending cultural and doctrinal boundaries.

Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902), born Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk and philosopher who introduced Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world. He became a disciple of Ramakrishna and embarked on a mission to uplift the Indian people, later gaining fame in the West after his impactful speech at the 1893 Parliament of Religions in Chicago. Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, and his contributions to Indian philosophy and nationalism remain influential. Celebrated as a patriotic saint, his legacy endures, with his birthday honored as National Youth Day in India.
