The Vivekananda Vedanta Society of British Columbia is affiliated to the Ramakrishna Order founded by Swami Vivekananda, which has its headquarters in Belur Math, India.
This Society is formed for purely religious and charitable purposes, which are as follows: (a) To promote devotion to God and the recognition of truth in all great religions of the world. (b) To promote the study, the practice and the teaching of Vedanta Philosophy and religion in general, as expounded by Sri Ramakrishna, Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda and other great spiritual leaders. (c) To promote harmony between the different religious, philosophical, and spiritual thoughts of the world.
This is a spiritual community of earnest seekers who come from diverse religious, cultural and racial backgrounds to pray and meditate, study and discuss, and work together for the common good. The Society offers talks, meditation meetings, and devotional singing sessions in the Vedanta tradition inspired by Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda.
Swami Vimohananda is the Society’s minister-in-charge. Currently, there is a talk by Swami Vimohananda on spiritual topics on Saturdays, and the Swami visits various Hindu temples on some Sundays to give talks in Hindi. All are welcome to attend the programmes.
