Welcome to the Index Page
of the ‘Mission Section’ of vmission.org.in site. On this Page we present a birds
eye view of the activities & objectives of Vedanta
Mission.
Established in 1992 under
the guidance & inspiration of Poojya Guruji Sri Swami
Atmanandaji, the mission has come a long way. Within a
short span of over a decade Vedanta Mission is
today known all over the world. Search any search engine
and all the info about Vedanta Mission will be
immediately available to you. The enlightening discourses of
Poojya Guruji, and the various pioneering works
on Net and other segments of the society have all
contributed to the spread of Vedanta Mission. However,
we still have far to go, all this is just a beginning.

Vedanta
Mission is for YOU - join the Caravan
To live a full
life, you need to know your Self, your truth. Self
Knowledge opens the door of all your inherent
potential. Self Knowledge (SK) was the secret of success of all
successful & truly healthy people. Not knowing the
truth of yourself is the door to all problems &
grief. Self realization is
god-realization, Self Knowledge is door to Moksha
- true freedom.
Come, enter the
portals of the ancient & time-tested 'Vedanta
- the science of Self-Knowledge'.
Join the Vedanta Mission, not only to know your
truth, but also join hands to help spread this divine
redeeming knowledge to one & all - all over
the world.
To begin with you
can become its member, subscribe to our online, or
land mail newsletters, take up the online courses,
join or start a study group, and if you are a dynamic
organizer types, you can start Self-Knowledge programs in your
own place, or even approach us to directly
organize a program of our Acharyas. Click on the 'contact' link on the left
to get more details from us. Life is short, make
the best of it. Awake, Arise - says the
Kathopanishad.

Brief Introduction of our
Founder :
Param Poojya Swami Atmananda Saraswatiji
is an inspired teacher of Vedanta. A very holistic
personality indeed, he is well-versed in the ancient
lore of vedanta as well as the modern systems of
knowledge & technology.
He considers himself an artwork of
various Mahatmas who blessed him with their love &
knowledge. The most noteworthy of all was Swami
Chinmayanandaji who not only gave him opportunity to
study at his ashram, but also personally initiated him
into the sanyas ashram - a great privilege indeed.
Poojya Guruji, as he is known in the Mission circles,
says that in order to know him fully, you need to know
yourself, as revealed in the Upanishads. I am thy own
self, and also the infinite & timeless self of one &
all.

The
Mission Logo
The Logo of
the Vedanta Mission (top right) is a 16 rayed sun, with
a 8 petal lotus within. At the very heart of
all this is 'om'.
The Sun represents the one
'self-effulgent divinity'. Its 16 rays
represents the 'Shodasha Kala Purusha of
Upanishads, representing the multifarious
manifestation of God in this universe. We
see inherent divinity in all. The 8
petal lotus represents a fully enlightened
individual, whose core is divine. This truth
alone is his source of strength &
inspiration. Such an awakened one, like sun, travels
all over lighting the lives of one & all. He draws his or her strength from
his own effulgent being. An embodiment of love,
knowledge, magnanimity & service. The
Mission logo
represents our values & goal. |

Objectives of Vedanta
Mission :
Mission endeavors to help bring about a
better world by helping people know about their truth &
potential. We dream & pray to help spread greater 'Love
& Light' in the world.
We believe that Self-Knowledge alone
shall free the world of the pangs & problems of limited,
egoistic existence.
As Vedanta is the time-tested heritage
for Self-Knowledge, we endeavor to introduce the
original Vedantic scriptures to the world. We are a
knowledge based organization helping any one interested
to get Self-Knowledge into the portals of Vedanta.
