Swami Vivekananda's message promoted religion as a scientific search for realizing the divinity within through four yogas - karma yoga of selfless action, bhakti yoga of devotion to God, raja yoga of meditation and self-control, and jnana yoga of knowledge and reasoning. His message emphasized realizing one's true self through an inner spiritual journey grounded in serving humanity, and remains relevant today for its universal teachings of realizing higher human potentials.
