Karnataka Prant
Carrying forward the divine mission of Swami Vivekananda and Eknathji Ranade across the land of heritage, courage, and spiritual awakening.
Awakening the Eternal Spirit of India in Karnataka
Welcome to the official portal of Vivekananda Kendra - Karnataka Prant. Operating on the core principle "In service to man, we worship God", our Kendra brings together spirited karyakartas, youth, and children dedicated to national regeneration.
Karnataka holds a profoundly historic place in the saga of Swami Vivekananda’s life, notably his deep bond with Mysore and his clarion call for fearless youth leadership and spiritual national pride.
"Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached. Each nation has a message to deliver, a mission to fulfill."
