Vedanta Centre of Atlanta

[Guest guest]

Dear List

 

We are fully aware of the many worthwhile appeals launched by the

Ramakrishna Order. Normally we do not post these on our list as we are not

geared to offer platform to them. We made an exception at the time of the

Tsunami disaster and are grateful for the generous contribution our list

members made to the Chennai Centre. One of the main supporerts of our list:

Swami Yogeshananda of the Atlanta Centre sent us the following appeal which

we feel deserves support from our list..................................jay

Dear Friends in Vedanta:

 

The Vedanta Center of Atlanta, is a non-profit organization incorporated in

Georgia as " The Eternal Quest. " We are soliciting assistance in raising the

funds required to erect a Worship Hall with its accompanying parking lot.

 

The structure will have as its center and focus the present shrine of the

Vedanta Center, dedicated to Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, Swami

Vivekananda, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and other divine figures.

Facilities for worship, platform and podium, seats for fifty or more people;

restrooms and service facilities complete the basic requirements. A corridor

will connect it to the present Center. The total cost of the plan is

estimated at $225,000.

 

If you are not familiar with the history and work of the Vedanta Center of

Atlanta, you may see our website, www.vedanta-atlanta.org, and/or send for a

copy of the booklet, " A Brief History of Vedanta in Atlanta. "

 

In March of this year, two of our Board members and I stayed at our

Headquarters in India, Belur Math. for two weeks, consulting about having

this Center affiliated as an official branch of the Ramakrishna Math and

Mission. We were assured that our request would be acted on favorably at a

future date. Faith, enterprise and vitality as a community is expected of

us, and the building of the Worship Hall will testify to that; we hope it

may shorten our wait.

 

We will be grateful for tax-deductible contributions, in whatever amount, by

check made payable to the " Vedanta Center of Atlanta - Building Fund " and

mailed to the address below. They will be acknowledged most gratefully and

efficiently employed.

 

In the name of Sri Ramakrishna,

Swami Yogeshananda
