Philosophy of IVS

        Our slogan — "Man is God".

        The International Vedanta Society(IVS) solicits one and all irrespective of any caste, creed, sex or religion. IVS doesn't stress on worshipping any particular God or Goddess. It believes that the all powerful resides within everyone and this omnipresent is known as Ishwara or God.

        IVS doesn't speak of any rights for men or women because the society believes that everyone is born with their own rights. The task is only to make them aware about it. And the medium of serving this ideology is love.

        IVS doesn't give any preferences to Sannyasins (Monks) or householders. The society wishes to let every individual manifest their inherent divinity within. IVS believes that only Vedanta can change the trouble-tormented situation of the present day world. And that must come through love and IVS is spreading the message of Unity and love. IVS appeals everyone to perform some benevolent activities everyday. each one of us has a role to play. Let everyone play his own role.

        We've heard many great good things in this world. But not much has been done. We must not differ in words and actions. IVS believes and respects all faith and religions.

        IVS desires to build such a new civilization where man would have predominance.

        The idol of IVS is "Man" (Human Being).

        "Man is truth above all else, nothing beyond prevails".

        — Bhagavan (The Core and Founder of IVS)
