The Vivekananda Vedanta Society of Chicago, established in 1930, is a branch of the Ramakrishna Order dedicated to bringing the eternal message of Vedanta to humanity. Through personal interviews, talks, lectures, seminars, inter-faith meetings, spiritual retreats, and religious celebrations, they aim to translate the lofty philosophy of Swami Vivekananda into action, making people aware of their inner divinity and helping them manifest it in every moment of life. The society offers programs and facilities such as the Home of Harmony, where individuals of all races and religions can practice and participate in interfaith and intra-faith dialogue, learn about different religions and their languages, interact with practitioners of other faiths, and deepen their spiritual experiences under the guidance of monastic teachers. Additionally, the Vivekananda Retreat in Ganges, Michigan provides a serene retreat space for spiritual seekers to engage in prayer, study, and meditation, with regular lectures and retreats on various topics by Swami Ishatmananda and other monks from Vedanta centers.
