The Pacific Vedantist was the 1902 magazine of the Vedanta Society of San Francisco, one of the earliest American organs of the Ramakrishna and Vivekananda mission. Its pages teach Advaita Vedanta directly and in the confident universalist voice Vivekananda had brought west: the soul as already pure and perfect, the limits of any finite personal God conceived as cause of the universe, the play of causation in the phenomenal world. It also keeps the mission's institutional record, printing reports of the Ashrama, notices of Swami Abhedananda's work on the Pacific coast, and a history of the New York society dating its own beginning to Vivekananda's lectures of 1894, after his appearance as a delegate to the World's Parliament of Religions. Karma and rebirth appear here as doctrine rather than as occult borrowings, and concentration, silence and breath-control as yoga rather than as the American mind-cure whose vocabulary they superficially resemble. It belongs to Hindu religious philosophy, and it is one of the first channels through which Vedanta reached the American west.
