Swami Vivekananda is widely known as a spiritual personality.But that he is also a philosopher who has made original contribution to the proper exposition of the age-old non-dualistic philosophy of India in the light of modern milicu, is perhaps not so well known or acknowledged.Swamiji himself expressed a desire to write a commentary on the Brahmasutras to cater to the present day understanding.
