The Vedanta Kesari

About The Vedanta Kesari

The Vedanta Kesari, meaning the Lion of Vedanta, is a spiritual and cultural English monthly of the Ramakrishna Order published from Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, since 1914. The magazine can be said to be a reincarnation of Brahmavadin, a magazine started by Sri Alasinga Perumal on 14 September 1895 with the inspiration and guidance of Swami Vivekananda.

True to Swami Vivekananda’s mandate and expectation, the magazine has been continuing with a rich collection of valuable articles on spirituality, religion, culture, values, and the tradition of the Ramakrishna Movement for over 11 decades! In addition to the regular 11-month issues, the magazine also publishes a special enlarged issue on a specific theme every December (since 1978).

This magazine is meant for those who are interested in Sanatana Dharma, Vedanta, and the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda and the legacy of the Ramakrishna Movement. The magazine also carries features for youth and children.

Subscription to this magazine symbolises your support to the noble cause it stands for and to the ideals of the Ramakrishna Order. We have fixed the subscription rates at nominal rates to make it easy for you and your friends to subscribe.
