About us
Situated in the multicultural, heritage suburb of Croydon in Sydney's inner west, our activities link ancient wisdom with contemporary society.
Through spiritual talks and discussion exploring the mystical, practical teachings of many faiths; through silent and guided meditations; yoga classes; retreats; festivals; theatre; and more - we provide an open-minded, reflective and creative space.
All activities are held in our renovated century-old building; comfortable, peaceful and spacious with soaring ceilings.
In keeping with our Indian/ Asian ambience shoes are left at the door. Disabled access provided.
Talks are given by Pravrajika Gayatriprana and Pravrajika Sridharaprana, senior nuns of Sri Sarada Math, the women’s wing of the Ramakrishna Order. Sri Sarada Math’s first centre outside India was established in Sydney in 1982.
The Ramakrishna Order was established in 1897 by Swami Vivekananda, one of the first to bring meditation and yoga philosophy to the West. He represented Hinduism at the first World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893. Since its inception the Ramakrishna Order has served millions through its relief and rehabilitation work and many schools and hospitals.

Study of Chapter 15, Verses 18 - 20:
The Way to the Supreme Spirit
Discussion Themes:
- UNIFIED THEORY: Scientists are searching for a ‘complete unified theory’ to explain why we and the universe exist. As Stephen W. Hawking said, ‘If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason—for then we would know the mind of God.’ Ancient yogis developed their own scientific approach to these big questions. Instead of using theories, equations, or particle experiments, they found answers through deep meditation and direct experience. Their discoveries do not have to be accepted on faith alone. Like modern science, these answers can be tested using established methods.
- AN AUDACIOUS CLAIM: ‘All the universes, the present and the past, are just waves in that infinite ocean which I am; that is my true nature. I am not this body; I am not this little thing. What an audacious claim for a man or woman to say this! That is what a human being can do. That is our true nature – Infinite caught up in a finite net, and struggling to get out of it.’
- SUPREME TREASURE: Eastern wisdom often says, ‘There is only one Reality’ behind the many forms of the universe. This Reality is divine and brings deep peace. As we move forward on our spiritual journey, this supreme treasure can enrich our lives.
We're a multicultural group of varying ages, including our Vedanta Society members and friends. We always welcome new faces and hear new perspectives.
