Consider the following statements about Swami Vivekananda I. He said that Vedanta was the religion of all. II. He believed in reviving all the best traditions of Hinduism. III. He was impressed by the status of women in the West. Which of the statements given above are correct.

Swami Vivekananda's philosophy was rooted in the belief that Vedanta was a universal, rational system applicable to all humanity, bridging the gap between spirituality and daily life [1]. He viewed his formulation of Vedanta as a 'World Religion' that could unify various Hindu sects and non-Hindu traditions [t1][t2]. Vivekananda aimed to revive the best traditions of Hinduism, emphasizing a sense of pride in India's past and culture while advocating for 'practical Vedanta' to uplift the downtrodden [c1][t3]. Furthermore, during his travels to the West, he was deeply impressed by the status, freedom, and education of Western women. He often contrasted this with the condition of women in India, advocating for their empowerment and freedom to solve their own problems, believing that the progress of a nation is impossible without the upliftment of women [t5]. Thus, all three statements are correct.
