In seinen Schriften vertrat er den Standpunkt des Neohinduismus (moderner Vedanta), der die indische Kultur mit einem vom Westen beeinflussten Begriffsapparat zu verstehen suchte und damit zu einer Neuinterpretation der indischen Tradition führte. Radhakrishnan erhielt 1961 den Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels.
