This article deals with Narendranath Datta (1863-1902) more known under his monastic name Swami Vivekananda. Vivekananda was a representative of the Bengal renaissance, a movement that is famous for its contribution to the modernization of India. Vivekananda became one of the architects of neo-Hinduism and a pioneer of modern yoga. His ideas also contributed to the rising Hindu nationalism. The article outlines his biography and religious socialization. A closer look will be given to his concept of religion and the way he relates it with India's national identity. A second major part of the article examines Vivekananda's understanding of religious experience that is crucial for his yoga philosophy and his philosophy of religion in general.
