The Vedanta Center of Greater Austin (VCGA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to doing charity work, provides volunteer service to help homeless people and helps with learning / practicing Vedanta. Its mission is to provide a conducive environment for seekers of self fulfillment following Vedanta philosophy. Drawing inspiration from the practical and modern interpretation of Vedanta by Swami
Vivekananda, the Center considers service of humanity and active participation in addressing social issues such as healthcare, education and natural disaster relief to be 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 gaining exposure to practical Vedanta from monks and nuns associated with the Ramakrishna movement as well as others.
