Monastic Members
The monks of Ramakrishna Order at the Ramakrishna Monastery of Trabuco Canyon are members of a global monastic brotherhood inspired by the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, and Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi. Living a life of spiritual discipline, contemplation, and service, the monks dedicate themselves to the practice and sharing of Vedanta—a philosophy that teaches the unity of all religions and the divinity inherent in every soul.
“God is everywhere, but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.”
“Bondage is of the mind; freedom, too, is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me; free you shall be.”
