Description
...O mind, set yourself on the path of Truth and walk every moment lighting your way with the lamp of devotion.
The independent SRV associations were founded in 1993 under the guidance of Babaji Bob Kindler and in cooperation with the national organization, the Sarada Ramakrishna Vivekananda Association of the West, founded by Lex Hixon, initiates of the Ramakrishna lineage and others who share the same universal ideals. The mission of both organizations is to serve humanity through religious education, in the spirit of universality as exemplified by our Ideals, Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. The particular feature of the independent SRV centers is participation in the sangha (spiritual community), accessibility to personal spiritual instruction from the guru, and study and implementation of the Sanatana Dharma into our lives.
Babaji Bob Kindler began his formal spiritual training in Yoga and Vedanta in 1970 at the age of twenty. After more than a decade of spiritual austerities and extensive study of the scriptures in Eastern Traditions, he received initiation into the Ramakrishna lineage by Swami Aseshananda, a direct disciple of Sri Sarada Devi, wife and spiritual consort of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. He also received guidance and instruction from Swami Nityasvarupananda, another direct disciple of Holy Mother, and training in ritualistic worship from Swami Damodarananda, both of the Ramakrishna Order as well.
