Vedanta is the oldest of the major living religions of the world. It affirms that all religions lead to the same Truth—“Truth is one; sages call it by various names” (Rig Veda). Vedanta teaches that the essence of all beings and all things is Spirit, infinite and eternal, unchanging and indivisible. It emphasizes that a person’s true nature is this divine Spirit, identical with the inmost being and reality of the universe and that the goal is to actualize this truth in one’s life.

The Vedanta Society of Northern California, founded in 1900 by Swami Vivekananda, is spiritually affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order, which is considered to be one of the foremost spiritual institutions in India. The Society, one of a number of Vedanta centers in the United States, is guided by swamis (monks) of the Order who serve as its ministers.
