- catalog abstract ""This book is the first to study the Swami's life, teachings, and writings in the light of recent social theories. Vivekananda's thinking is critically examined as a nationalist text and not merely as a discourse on Hindu religion. The author compares the Swami's ideas with the political beliefs of other contemporary public intellectuals. She examines the ways in which Vivekananda's neo-Hinduism emerged as a powerful ideology of Hindu nationalism, combining the European Enlightenment ideals of modernity and rationalism with the Hindu doctrine of Advaita Vedanta."--Jacket.".
