The Meaning and the Concept of Religion in Radhakrishnan’s Philosophy

Author(s): Siba Prasad Chaudhury

Abstract:

An integrated approach to religion is examined by Radhakrishnan. In six volumes, he expanded on his ideas. He explains that religion constitutes the principles that we must adhere to in our everyday lives and social interactions. He claims that religion is the manifestation of truth in life and has the capacity to change who we are. The fundamental tenet of religion is the recognition of the dignity of the human spirit residing in the ultimate. Our shared spiritual challenges and goals are reflected in it. It is an invitation to an adventure in spirituality. It is the solution to reestablish the post-relationship between the eternal and the person. Man can only express his inner spirit through religion. It is the discipline that strikes the conscience, empowers us to fight evil, releases moral power, and gives us courage to try to save the world. According to Radhakrishnan, religion is a matter of emotion as well as a mental attitude. It is the encounter with ultimate reality or the experience of it. Every civilization is built upon it. It has elevated nonviolence to the pinnacle of virtue. The purpose of this paper is to examine Radhakrishnan's synthetic approach to religion.
