Vedanta Philosophy: An address before the Graduate Philosophical Society is a lecture given by Swami Vivekananda on 25 March 1896 at the Graduate Philosophical Society of Harvard University. After this lecture, the university offered Vivekananda the chair of Eastern Philosophy.[1]
Vivekananda attended the Parliament of the World's Religions in 1893 as a representative of Vedanta, Hinduism, and India. There, his lectures won the admiration and interest of the public. For the next four years, Vivekananda gave a series of lectures in different cities of America and England. On 25 March 1896, Vivekananda gave a lecture on Vedanta philosophy at the Graduate Philosophical Society of Harvard University. The lecture was recorded stenographically. Later that same year, the lecture was published as a book by the Cambridge University Press.[2] After this lecture, Vivekananda was offered the chair of Eastern Philosophy, but he declined the offer.[1][3][4]
