Founded in 1933 and located on New York City's Upper Eastside on 94th Street between 5th and Madison Ave. The Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York is an accredited branch of the Ramakrishna Order of India. The Center bases its teachings on the System of Vedanta, which combines both the religion and philosophy of Hinduism.
