Abstract
The Universal Religion of Swami VivekanandaSwami Vivekananda and his Guru Sri Ramakrishna were not only a major influence on Sri Aurobindo but also on Sri Aurobindo’s disciple Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri. As we gather to discuss the ideas of Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri on Universal Religion, this presentation takes us further back into history and discusses the salient features of Universal Religion as proposed by Swami Vivekananda since his appearance at the 1893 Parliament of Religions held in Chicago.
