Vedanta accepts all the religions of the world and reveres the

great prophets, teachers and sons of God, because it PAID recog­nizes the same divine inspiration in all. U.S. POSTAGE U.S. POSTAGE Non-Profit Org. Los Angeles, CA The Vedanta Society of Southern California was Permit No. 18226 founded in 1930 and incorporated as a non-profit religious corporation in 1934. The Society maintains a temple, convent, and monastery in both Hollywood and Santa Barbara; a monastery and shrine each in San Diego and Trabuco Canyon; and the Vivekananda House in South Pasadena. There are a number of official Vedanta societies in the United States, Europe and South America. Although the societies are under the spiritual guidance of the Ramakrishna Order of India, each is an independent, self-supporting unit. Membership is open to those who are seri­ously interested in the teachings of Vedanta and have attended lectures and classes for some time. In addition, an interview with Swami Sarvadevananda, San Diego Center the Minister, is required. Interviews with speakers are available after their talks. Private instruction is also available from Swami March 2017 Sarvadevananda to those who have attended classes and lectures for some time and want to deepen their spiritual life in the path of meditation. There is no charge for this instruction. Appointments may be made at the local centers. Information and books on Vedanta and other religions are available at our bookshops and websites.
