Vedic Vision Society was formed in 2003 to create a space for thoughtful IIT students seeking to make sense of today’s world through the lens of ancient Vedic wisdom. The Vedas say that when you go deep to the core or essence of every living being you will find that they are “sat-cit-ananda” (eternal, full of knowledge, and blissful or full of love). So our goal is to see the world through the len
s of 1) understanding that which is eternal, not getting sidetracked by the glittery temporary, 2) to know the absolute truth distinguished from the relative temporary truths of this world, and 3) to see the world through love, knowing that we are always loved and can give love. Since a young age we’ve been bombarded with messages telling us the contrary, that we need something outside of ourselves to be complete or happy. The way the Vedic texts suggest to go beyond the noise of our surroundings and our mind is to practice mantra yoga (“man” means mind, “tra” means to free or relieve, and “yoga” means to link or connect). By practicing mantra yoga we aim to still the mind and experience our inner peace and love. We also serve free sumptuous karma-free vegetarian food to all attendees! We're also on instagram!
