Views of Swami Dayanand, Swami Vivekanand & Mahatma Gandhi on religion (original) (raw)

2015

Abstract

Experience is the only source of knowledge. In the world, religion is the only science where there is no surety, because it is not taught as a science of experience. This should not be. There is always, however, a small group of men who teach religion from experience. They are called mystics, and these mystics in every religion speak the same tongue and teach the same truth. This is the real science of religion. Swami Dayanand believed that Dharma consists in following the Truth, which alone triumphs ultimately and secures for its devotees. Swami Vivekananda's most significant contributions to global culture are his reflections on religious pluralism, which can be defined broadly as the idea that there is truth to be found in many religious traditions, and not only one. Mahatma Gandhi did not believe in formal religion, or customary religion, but that religion which underlies all religions, which brings us face to face with our Maker.
