Vedanta Society, and its variant Vedanta Centre, are terms covering organizations, groups, or societies formed for the study, practice, and propagation of Vedanta. The first Vedanta Society was founded by Swami Vivekananda in New York in November 1894.[1] Many of the existing Vedanta Societies are affiliated, either formally or informally, with the Ramakrishna Order. The branches of the Ramakrishna Order located outside India are generally knows as Vedanta Societies, and are under the spiritual guidance of the Ramakrishna Order.[2] The work of the Vedanta Societies in the west has primarily been devoted to spiritual and pastoral activities, though many of them do some form of social service. Many of the Western Vedanta societies have resident monks, and several centers have resident nuns.[2]
