Welcome to Vedanta New Zealand

A view of the Vedanta Retreat Centre, Glen Murray, Waikato

We are waves of the infinite, eternal and immortal ocean of Consciousness. There is infinite power, knowledge, beauty, purity, freedom and goodness within us all. Vedanta is the voice of freedom calling  upon us to manifest these excellences in our everyday life. Let us arise, awake and stop not till Self-realisation is attained. Let us teach ourselves and everyone their real nature. Let's call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come and everything that is excellent will come when our sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.
