Abstract

The brain drain of Indian scientists and engineers to Western nations has accelerated along with India's rapid economic growth achieved in recent years. In the present-day situation, it is quite noteworthy that Indians overseas, as well as intellectuals living in India (the vast majority of whom are Hindus), often keep a firm conviction toward their faith and religious beliefs and practices. Some of them are soberly involved in heated exchange of opinions over the Internet blogs on the consistency of the attainments of modern science with that of classical Indian philosophy, while others actively invite Hindu priests to perform rituals at their own temples overseas. In this paper, in order to find a clue to this strong confidence in their own spiritual culture, the focus will be placed on Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), a nineteenth century thinker who successfully restructured and revitalized Indian spirituality by shedding exclusive light on the intellectual aspects of the non-dualistic philosophy of Advaita-Vedanta.
