Solution
Swami Vivekananda
Explanation:
Swami Vivekananda was a great humanist and spiritual leader who strongly believed that “Service to man is service to God” (often phrased as Jiva is Shiva). He taught that true spirituality cannot exist on an empty stomach and that serving marginalised, poor, and suffering people is the highest form of worship. To put this philosophy of social service into action, he founded the Ramakrishna Mission in 1897, an organisation that continues to provide extensive healthcare, disaster relief, and education worldwide.
