Aims and Ideals

The Centre will function in accordance with the principles of Vedanta as expounded by Swami Vivekananda:

1. God realisation is the goal of life.
2. "Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work or worship or psychic control or philosophy - by one or more or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines or dogmas or rituals or books or temples or forms are but secondary details."

The aims and ideals of the Centre shall be purely Spiritual, Cultural and Humanitarian, and shall be universal and non-political.
