Thank You for Your Support

Dear Devotees and Friends,

As the year comes to a close, I offer my heartfelt gratitude for your devotion and support of the Vivekananda Vedanta Society of Chicago. Your presence—whether in person, online, or through your prayers—strengthens the mission of Swami Vivekananda in our community.

This season invites us to pause and reflect on the many blessings we have received. Swami Vivekananda reminded us, “They alone live who live for others,” and his words continue to guide our work each day. Through worship, study, meditation, and service, our ashramas strive to offer spiritual guidance, comfort, and inspiration to all seekers.

At this time of gratitude and giving, I invite you to consider making a year-end donation. Your generosity—no matter the amount—helps sustain our classes, worship services, retreats, and the ongoing care of our facilities in Homer Glen, the Home of Harmony, and the Ganges retreat center in Michigan. Your support ensures that these sacred spaces remain places of peace and spiritual growth for all.
