The message of oneness

A spiritual home for people of every age, culture and belief — united by the realization of the Self.

About Us

International Vedanta Society is the culmination of a dream long cherished by its founder- that the knowledge of the true nature of his self shall help man discover eternal peace by setting him free from the binds of his limited ego. The Society was formed on the 19th of November, 1989, with the sole objective of making people aware of the essence of Advaita Vedanta, and its role in reinstating world peace.

Our Ideology

” Man is God”. The international Vedanta Society solicits one and all irrespective of any caste, creed, sex or religion. IVS doesn’t stress on worshipping any particular God or Goddess. It believes that the all powerful resides within everyone and this omnipresent is known as Iswara or God. The International Vedanta Society doesn’t speak of any rights for men or women because the society believes that everyone is born with their own rights. The task is only to make them aware about it. And the medium of serving this ideology is love.
