The Ramakrishna Order was founded in India in the late 19th century by the great teacher Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886), whom many revere as an incarnation of God. Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), the most illustrious disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, established the Ramakrishna Math and Mission. In the United States These centers came to be known as Vedanta Societies.
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient and inclusive religious philosophies. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions. Vedanta is the philosophical foundation of Hinduism, but it is universal in its application, being relevant to all countries, all cultures, and all religious backgrounds of all times.
This and all events at Emmanuel Church are free and open to the public.. Free parking is found in the church lot directly across the street from Emmanuel Church at 42 Dearborn Street, Newport
