The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.


Helen Keller

Meeting the need of this time

Despite advancements in technology and increases global connectivity, individuals continue to experience loneliness, stress and a sense of purposelessness. This disconnect from inner peace and True Self-knowledge contributes to a world filled with suffering, violence and environmental degradation.


The International Vedanta society are committed to creating a community of peace, compassion and understanding by helping individuals realise their true nature through Self-Realisation.

About - olivia carstairs

Olivia grew up in Dorset, and moved to London in 2018 to continue her studies as an opera singer. Since graduating in 2022, Olivia felt a restlessness within her and was on a search for a deeper meaning in her life.  After years of searching, Olivia came across Jyotiprana Mata’s event in London 2023, and since then has been dedicating her time to learn more about the Vedanta Philosophy as she gradually began to feel a profound shift within.


Olivia visited India with IVS in December 2024 to delve further into her spiritual journey. She hopes to spread the teachings of Vedanta to the younger generations, and help Jyotiprana Mata in her mission to bring peace and knowledge of the inner world to the UK. Olivia is currently creating a podcast where she will interview Vedanta practitioners from around the world to highlight the practical implementation and everyday benefits of the practice. The podcast will be shared on our website.

COSMIC EYE – A JOURNEY FROM THE SELF TO THE UNIVERSE

Take a journey from the human eye to the vastness of the cosmos with this stunning visualization. This video, “Cosmic Eye to Universe | The Ultimate Zoom”, beautifully illustrates the profound connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm—the idea that the vast universe outside mirrors the vast potential within.


As Sri Ramakrishna once told Swami Vivekananda:

“If you look at the night sky and reflect on how small you are, you will realize how small your problems really are.”
 
For young seekers facing the pressures and challenges of modern life, this visual journey is a powerful reminder to expand your perspective, embrace the infinite possibilities within, and step boldly into life with clarity, courage, and hope.
