The primary aim of the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society is personal development of the individual through spiritual practices as taught by Sri Ramakrishna and propagated by Swami Vivekananda and Sri Sarada Devi. Its mission is dedicated to a spirit of tolerance, love, service, and harmony among people. The Society teaches sincere seekers how to progress in the ancient Vedanta tradition of India through four age-old paths, or yogas – selfless service (karma yoga), rationality (jnana yoga), devotion (bhakti yoga), and indomitable will (raja yoga).
