About Ramakrishna Mission
- In 1897, Vivekananda founded Ramakrishna Mission near Calcutta (now Kolkata) with two objectives:
- to spread the teachings of Vedanta through the life of Hindu saint Ramakrishna (1836-86) and
- to improve the social conditions of Indian people.
- Ramakrishna, who drew from his own spiritual experiences with various religious disciplines, including Christianity and Islam, believed that all religions lead to the same goal.
- A small but dedicated group of disciples grew around him, including Narendranath Datta (later known as Vivekananda), who was chosen by Ramakrishna as his successor.
- This group established the Ramakrishna math on the banks of the Ganges near Kolkata in 1898.
- In 1953, the Sri Sarada Math was founded in Calcutta and in 1959, it became a separate entity following Vivekananda's earlier wishes.
- The Ramakrishna Sarada Mission, along with its sister organization, operates several centers throughout India.
- The organization promotes the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta-Advaita Vedanta, as well as four yogic ideals: Jnana, Bhakti, Karma, and Raja yoga.
- The mission's work is based on the principles of Karma Yoga, which involves selfless work dedicated to God.
- The movement is headquartered at Belur Math on the banks of the Ganges in West Bengal, striving for religious harmony, social equality, peace, all-round development of human faculties, and spiritual fulfillment for all humanity.
Core Principles:

- Harmony of religions
- Harmony of secular and sacred, or human and divine
