Welcome to Vedanta Centre Brisbane
The Vedanta Centre in Springfield Lakes, QLD is a branch of the Ramakrishna Order in India. Our goal is to help one another grow spiritually and to serve the community through benevolent activities like free food relief, activities for children & youth, yoga, meditation, classes on Vedanta, educational workshops, community events and volunteer opportunities. Volunteers of the Centre run a free food program called Vedanta Soup Kitchen, and a Saturday cafe called Maa Sarada's Kitchen. There is also a garden, bookshop & library. Special festivals and birthdays of Saints, teachers & Hindu deities are celebrated regularly.
The Vedanta Centre is a not-for-profit organisation supported by the generosity of the community. We are grateful for any donation to help us carry on our work.

Our Core Vision
"Atmano Mokshartham Jagad Hitaya Cha" meaning "For Ones Own Liberation and for the Welfare of the World". Inspired by the ideals of renunciation and service, the monks and lay devotees of the Vedanta Centre serve the broader community, without any distinction of religion or race, because they see the living God in them.
