The Vedanta Philosophy: An Address Before the Graduate Philosophical Society of Harvard University, March 25, 1896 is a lecture by Charles Johnston that introduces Vedanta, a major school of Hindu philosophy. Johnston explores the concepts of Brahman (the ultimate reality) and Atman (the individual soul), highlighting their unity. He discusses self-realization and moksha, emphasizing that the individual soul is not separate from Brahman. The address focuses on Vedantic principles like non-duality (Advaita) and underscores the role of meditation and self-inquiry in spiritual growth

Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902), born Narendranath Datta, was a prominent Indian monk and philosopher. A chief disciple of Ramakrishna, he introduced Vedanta and Yoga to the West, raising awareness of Hinduism as a major world religion. He founded the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, and contributed to Hindu reform and Indian nationalism. His 1893 speech at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago, beginning with "Sisters and brothers of America," is one of his most famous moments.
