Man is God.
Sri Bhagavan
If you love people and help them, God will love you.
Sri Bhagavan
Face it. Don’t run from your troubles. Face it and overcome it. Nothing is tough. You become tougher and the tough will become easy. Vedanta teaches us to be fearless. Abhih!
Sri Bhagavan
Help only those who have no one to help them or those who are really in need of help.

Our Ideology
“Man is God”. The International Vedanta Society solicits one and all irrespective of any caste, creed, sex or religion.
শ্রীভগবানSri Bhagavan
The founder and the Core of International Vedanta Society, with His simple lifestyle who inspired thousands of people world wide.
Sri Bhagavan, the core and founder of the International Vedanta Society, was born on the 3rd of January, 1942, to a family of land lords, in the village of Rahamatpur, in Barishal District of Bangladesh.
Initiation and Guru
Inspired by the poem ‘ To an Early Violet’ of Swami Vivekananda, and later Sri Ramakrishna, it was not long before Sri Bhagavan met His Guru, Swami Pabitrananda at Ramakrishna Tapovan in Janai, near Kolkata. Swami Pabitrananda was the disciple of Swami Krishnananda, who was in turn initiated by Mother Sarada, the holy consort of Sri Ramakrishna.
Embodiment of Love
Spurred on by His overflowing love for mankind, which was a result of His realization of oneness with existence, Sri Bhagavan founded the International Vedanta Society on the 19th of November, 1989, with the primary objective of spreading the message of Vedanta amongst the masses. Sri Bhagavan says, that the knowledge of oneness is man’s only hope for a better future.
“I will crush the God made of stone and mix it with people”.
