Mission & Philosophy

Sri Sarada Vivekananda Vedanta Society of New Jersey is a spiritual organization and a non-profit organization. The aim of the society is to conduct spiritual programs that bring awareness and better understanding of the Vedantic concepts. Monthly Satsangs and periodic retreats are conducted by Swamijis visiting from all over USA and abroad.

Vedanta, as revealed to the saints of Ancient India, teaches that man's real nature is divine, that the true object of human life is to unfold and manifest this divinity and that truth is universal. Vedanta believes in one God who has both 'transcendental' and 'immanent' aspects. God-vision can be obtained by controlling nature, internal and external, and through paths (yogas) of knowledge (Jnana-yoga), selfless work (Karma-yoga), devotion (Bhakti-yoga) and psychic control (Raja-yoga).

​

Vedanta accepts all the religions of the world and reveres the great prophets, teachers, and sons of God, because it recognises the same divine inspiration in all. The Ramakrishna Order is founded on the ideals of Vedanta as propounded by and exemplified in the lives and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, the great saint of Modern India and Swami Vivekananda, his chief disciple and himself a great spiritual luminary.
