Advaita Mysticism

Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati is celebrating its 125 years of glorious existence. This Ashrama, in its significance, transcends the physical barrier and leaps into the transcendental realm of the oneness of existence and the Divinity of the human being — the two cardinal principles of Advaita philosophy. It is not just an Ashrama with buildings of bricks and mortar; it is the personification of the Advaita way of living, a dream of Swami Vivekananda that has come true.

Prabuddha Bharata, which is published from the Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati for nearly 125 years, celebrates the Ashrama’s 125 years of glorious existence by bringing out a special issue on Advaita Mysticism. This is an important theme that has a close relationship with this Ashrama because what makes Mayavati Advaita Ashrama unique and distinct from other centres of the Ramakrishna Order is its complete commitment to the Advaita ideal that has become the living force of every monastic member of this Ashrama.
