About us
Discover timeless wisdom for modern life.
We are a community dedicated to exploring Vedanta—the ancient philosophy that teaches the divinity of every soul and the unity of all existence. Through talks, study groups, meditation, devotional music, and service, we seek to cultivate inner peace, understanding, and compassion.
Our goal:
To help individuals realize their spiritual potential and live with purpose and freedom in everyday life.
Who should join:
Anyone drawn to meditation, interfaith harmony, self-knowledge, and spiritual growth—regardless of background or belief. Whether you’re new to Vedanta or have been studying for years, you’ll find a supportive community for reflection, learning, and shared inquiry.
What we do:
We host weekly lectures, meditation sessions, music gatherings, and spiritual celebrations that illuminate the universal truths at the heart of all faiths. Together, we explore how the world’s great teachers and texts can guide us toward strength, love, and self-realization.
Join us as we learn, grow, and serve—discovering that the infinite oneness of the soul is the source of all peace, joy, and morality.

Sunday Vedanta Practice: Seeing The Spirit
·HybridThe Vedanta Society, 2716 Broadway E, Seattle, WA, USJoin us for a weekly rhythm of meditation, teaching, and discussion led by Swami Satyamayananda or Guest Swami Jñānasudhānanda. The morning begins with meditation, followed by a teaching on spiritual life and Vedanta. After the talk, those attending in person are welcome to remain for coffee, tea, and continued discussion in our dining room. The bookstore will also be open. This reflects the new Sunday structure beginning May 3, 2026.
Because meditation is now the foundation of the morning, we ask everyone to plan ahead to arrive and be settled before 10am. Entering after meditation has begun is disruptive to the meditation period and to those already practicing. Upon arrival, you may choose to join Swami Satyamayananda or Swami Jñānasudhānanda for Guided Meditation in the Chapel, or enter the Shrine upstairs for Silent Meditation.
This event is held in person at the Seattle Ashrama, and the 10:30 teaching is also livestreamed on YouTube. Like all Vedanta Society activities, it is open to all and free of charge. Past talks may be selected from our YouTube playlists.

Two-Day Meditation Retreat
Tapovan Retreat, 23217 27th Ave NE, Arlington, WA, Arlington, WA, USJoin us for a day of quiet reflection and spiritual renewal, led by Pravrajikas Vedaprana & Preetiprana. Through guided meditation, instruction, and introspective silence, participants explore the universal truths taught in Vedanta — the oneness of all existence and the divinity within each being.
This retreat offers an opportunity to step away from the pace of daily life and turn inward, nurturing calmness, clarity, and spiritual strength. No previous experience with meditation or Vedanta is required. All are welcome, regardless of background or faith tradition.
You’ll leave refreshed, grounded, and inspired to carry the stillness of the retreat into everyday living.
During the event, you can expect several rounds of guided meditation, instruction, Q&A, a brief tea/coffee break, and a flower offering. We conclude with a vegetarian potluck.
Registration is required. This, like all Vedanta Society events, is free and all are welcome.
Please arrive a few minutes early so that meditation is not disturbed.
