ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.

ABOUT US

It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago.

Pronams Swamiji, my spiritual teacher, bless me.

"Have the courage to say 'I am that Reality, which appears as individual, God and the universe'!" What an astounding statement!!!

[amritradha]

The clarity in explanation is indeed the utmost Swamyji. Bless us Swamyji to retain our understanding. And ignore our ignorance and misapprehension swallowed by us so far. I think the ordinary Hindu has not got the explanation in his known simple language. I wonder why the Gurus are adamant to impregnate it all in Sanskrit thus confusing the individual seeker. Why why.

Namaste Swamiji, there is actually a temple called Tiruvanaikkaval in Trichy, TAmilnadu where a spider is supposed to have been a devotee of Siva and it builds its web above the Sivalingam again and again to protect it from the elements. (Same with an ant in a temple called Tiruverumbur where it brought an offering of a rice of flower to the Lingam every day)

[bkgupta]

Why don't you show running video of swami ji which is more appealing.

Please lay some light on kundalini jagran, samskaras stored in kundalini form.
Kundalini energy release ?

Swami Vivekananda rightly said: "𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋 𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐃𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐄.

THE GOAL IS TO MANIFEST THIS DIVINITY WITHIN, BY CONTROLLING NATURE. EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL. DO THIS EITHER BY WORK, OR WORSHIP, OR PSYCHIC CONTROL, OR PHILOSOPHY, BY ONE, OR MORE, OR ALL OF THESE - AND BE FREE.
THIS IS THE WHOLE OF RELIGION. DOCTRINES, OR DOGMAS, OR RITUALS, OR BOOKS, OR TEMPLES, OR FORMS, ARE BUT SECONDARY DETAILS."
