This place radiates positivity and calmness. If you want to reach deeper into your soul and reflect on the teachings of Thakur Sri Ramakrishna, Sarada Maa and Swami Vivekananda you must visit this place. Under the able guidance of Swami Ishatmananda ji you will be able to regain peace and harmony in life.

It was a divine experience to visit the place. The Vedanta society is situated in a serene place. We visited the place on the occasion of janmashtami and had a great day.

Serene and beautiful place to visit, devotees come from all over the world to unite with the divine, spend some quite hours at the shrine, meditate, chant and study Vedanta. This ashram welcomes all religions and cultures, as many faiths so many paths. The most inspiring are the volunteers who have been coming for years and years, devoted full heartedly. And Swamiji is always welcoming to meet-n-greet spiritual seekers of all paths. All are welcome (is the big sign at the entrance)

Visiting the Vivekananda Vedanta Society of Chicago was an incredibly fulfilling experience. As a former student of Belur Ramakrishna Mission, I felt an immediate connection upon entering. I had the wonderful opportunity to interact with Swami Ishatmananda Maharaj, which was a profound and enlightening experience. Attending the evening prayer was deeply peaceful and meditative, offering a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The serene atmosphere and the spiritual energy of the place make it a must-visit for anyone seeking inner peace and inspiration.
