Answer:

A. Swami Vivekananda

Read Explanation:

Neo-Vedanta Movement

  • Swami Vivekananda is the principal propagator of the Neo-Vedanta (or Practical Vedanta) movement, which reinterpreted the classical Advaita Vedanta of Adi Shankaracharya to suit the needs of the modern world.

  • The term "Neo-Vedanta" was coined by the German Indologist Paul Hacker to distinguish modern developments from traditional Advaita Vedanta.

  • Unlike traditional Vedanta, which often emphasized world-renunciation and monasticism, Neo-Vedanta focuses on social service and practical action, equating the service of humanity with the worship of God ("Jiva is Shiva").

  • The concept of "Daridra Narayana" (serving the poor as God) is a cornerstone of this philosophy.
