VEDANTA is a spiritual philosophy born of the Upanishads, of the Vedas of ancient India. With it many have been able to harmonize
the basic tenets of all the world’s religions. If you have ever posed questions that your own faith seems never to have fully addressed, these recordings may hold answers.
Vedanta does not seek converts, nor does it wish anyone to abandon their religion. Rather, it seeks to deepen and broaden the faith that already exists within every truth seeker, and to expand our capacity for compassion and love. The present Vedanta movement was founded by Swami Vivekananda, chief disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, a student and devotee of the world’s major religions. His legacy to mankind has been the founding of the Ramakrishna Mission with its many centers of Vedanta located throughout the world.
Swami Yogeshananda, a monk of the Ramakrishna Order, is the spiritual leader of the Vedanta Center of Atlanta and author of several books on spiritual life, including Six Lighted Windows, The Visions of Sri Ramakrishna. He was born in Tacoma, Washington, in 1923 and brought up as a Protestant. After a journey through skepticism and Quakerism, he found his destiny in Vedanta, at the feet of Swami Yatiswarananda. He has served in a number of centers of the Order.
