Hindu Vedanta Center Thrives In Hyde Park Era
The Vivekananda Vedanta society in Hyde Park traces its roots to Swami Vivekananda and the 1893 World Parliament of Religions. The Ramakrishna Order established centers nationwide with the Hyde Park temple at 5423 South Hyde Park Boulevard serving as main site. Activities include daily lectures, meditation classes, Sunday Annapurna, monastic life for Brahmacharis, and a public religious bookstore. The center emphasizes the divinity of man, unity of religions, and service, contributing to the local community with facilities expanded to support a growing congregation.
