"May we find oneness in everything.
May we find love in everything.
This is the essence of Vedanta"

~ Sri Sri Bhagavan ~

Welcome

In the holy city of Varanasi, we are happy to welcome you to our ashram of International Vedanta Society (IVS). Where, in spirit of our Master and IVS core and founder Sri Bhagavan, the message of unity, love and Advaita Vedanta is spread through our satsangs, retreats, lectures, temple services and meditations.

If you are looking for more love and devotion in your life, if you would like to know about Vedanta and Self-realisation and how you can find true peace and joy, please take a look around and feel free to contact us.

With love, Swami Probuddhananda Puuri

On the occasion of the Bengali New Year, celebrated on April 15, a spirit of renewal and compassion inspires meaningful action.

Marking this day, the International Vedanta Society donated an air cooler and two pedestal fans each to an old age home and a leprosy ashram in Varanasi.

As the new year symbolizes new beginnings and hope, this initiative reflects a shared commitment to care, dignity, and improving living conditions for those who need it most.

Together, we welcome a new year, wishing all well-being and love.
