A brief on Vedanta Center of Atlanta: Throughout the centuries, India has produced many great saints and illumined teachers. One of the greatest of these was Swami Vivekananda. You are aware that Swami Vivekananda was the first who introduced ancient scriptures of India, Yoga and Vedanta to America in 1893. He felt the need of Vedanta here in USA. Vivekananda delivered lectures and classes in the United States for about three years and founded the first two Vedanta Centers. The parent organization in India, now called the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, operates about 150 centers in that and other countries, ministering to the social, economic, educational and emergency needs of the public. The well known Sri Ramakrishna Math & Mission, India is known as Vedanta Society/Center in the west. They carry the work of Swami Vivekananda in the western countries. Swami Vivekananda did not visit Atlanta during his sojourns in America, but Atlanta is very much fortunate to have an institute “Vedanta Center of Atlanta” dedicated to the ideals of Trinity Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. The work of teaching meditation, philosophy, and devotion to God was started in the Atlanta area in the late 1970s. The present teacher, Swami Yogeshananda, an American member of the Ramakrishna Order, has spent many years in Atlanta. |
