1, 2 & 3


The Vedanta Society was founded by Swami Vivekananda .The first Vedanta Society was founded by Swami Vivekananda in New York in November 1894., who later on asked Swami Abhedananda to lead the organization in 1897. Many of the existing Vedanta Societies are affiliated, either formally or informally, with the Ramakrishna Order, the monastic order, which led to the formation of Ramakrishna Mission.

Extra information:

Ramakrishna Mission founded by Vivekanada was deeply a religious body, but it was not a proselytizing body. Unlike Arya Samaj, the Mission recognises the utility and value of image worship in developing spiritual fervor and worship of the eternal omnipotent God, although it emphasises the essential spirit and not the symbols or rituals. Both believed in Oneness of GOD. Shuddhi movement was started by Arya Samaj.
