Vedanta Center of Greater Austin

The Vedanta Center of Greater Austin (VCGA) is a community for spiritual aspirants. Its mission is to provide a conducive environment for seekers of God realization following Vedanta philosophy. Drawing inspiration from the practical and modern interpretation of Vedanta by Swami Vivekananda, the Center considers service to humanity and active participation in addressing social issues such as healthcare, education and natural disaster relief to be the integral parts of its mission. We provide opportunities for seekers to pursue spiritual growth through prayer, meditation, worship, service activities, study of spiritual and philosophical literature and exposure to practical Vedanta through the visiting monks/nuns of Sri Ramakrishna order.
