Vedanta teaches that humanity’s real nature is di-vine, that the true object of human life is to unfold and manifest this divinity, and that truth is univer-sal. Vedanta accepts all the religions of the world and reveres the great prophets, teachers, and in-carnations of God, because it recog nizes the same divine inspiration in all.
The Vedanta Society of Southern California was founded in 1930 and incorporated as a non-profit religious corporation in 1934. The Society main-tains a tem ple, convent, and monastery in both Hollywood and Santa Barbara; a monastery and shrine each in San Diego and Trabuco Canyon; the Vivekananda House in South Pasadena, and a Retreat in Pinon Hills. There are a number of offi-cial Vedanta Societies in the United States, Europe, and South America. Although the societies are under the spiritual guidance of the Ramakrishna Order of India, each is an independent, self-sup-porting unit.
Membership is open to those who are seri ously in terested in the teachings of Vedanta and have attended lectures and classes for some time. Applications are available in the Society office and bookshop.
Private instruction is available from Swami Sarva -devananda to those who have attended classes and lectures for some time and want to deepen their spiritual life in the path of meditation. There is no charge for this instruction. Appointments may be made at the local centers.
Information and books on Vedanta and other reli-gions are available at our bookshops and websites.
