The Ramakrishna Vedanta Mission places utmost importance on personal spiritual development and selfless service. The driving force behind all activities has been, humbly following the footsteps of Swami Vivekananda, who lived his entire life in establishing universalism and harmony and the realization of Eternal Truth, which has been the essence of India’s spiritual philosophy known as Vedanta. In his words, “the essence of Vedanta is that there is one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being”. Vedanta doesn’t stand for one comprehensive or unifying doctrine, rather it is an umbrella term for many sub- traditions. Vedanta remained as the dominant philosophy of India’s religious legacy from ancient Vedic period to the present age. The thoughts and teachings of Vedanta has been consolidated, vitalized and made lucid by Sri Ramkrishna, the spiritual master of Swami Vivekananda, and was expounded in the modern idiom by Swami Vivekananda and made available to all humans without any discrimination of cast, creed or race.
