Abstract

This research paper explores the concept of "Soulful Governance" through the lens of Swami Vivekananda's teachings, aiming to elucidate a blueprint for ethical political leadership. Drawing on Vivekananda's philosophical insights, the paper investigates the integration of spirituality and governance, emphasising the role of inner transformation in fostering ethical and effective political leadership.This research embarks on a journey through Vivekananda's voluminous writings, speeches, and correspondences to distil the essence of his vision for a governance model that transcends the mundane and embraces the spiritual dimensions of human existence.The introductory segment sets the stage by providing a panoramic overview of Swami Vivekananda's life and the socio-political context of late 19th-century India.This contextualization serves as a backdrop for the subsequent exploration into the crux of his teachings and their potential applicability in contemporary political landscapes. The study navigates through Vivekananda's extensive body of work, encompassing writings, discourses, and correspondences, to distil the essence of his philosophical underpinnings. This paper aims to transcend the conventional boundaries of political discourse by integrating spirituality into the fabric of governance, offering a holistic framework that goes beyond transactional politics
