Our Inspiration
Sri Ramakrishna (1836 - 1886)

He observed that the aim of all secular knowledge was mere material advancement and resolved to devote himself solely to the pursuit of spiritual knowledge which would ensure eternal peace.He became the priest of Kali temple at Dakshineshwar and worshiped with great zeal and enthusiasm. He married Sri Sharada Devi who is now venerated as the Holy Mother he worshiped her as Divine Mother. He taught her everything from house-keeping up to the knowledge of the Brahman. He had specially trained a band of young men to carry on his spiritual mission. These young men renounced the world after his passing away and formed the monastic order bearing his name and led by the most dynamic and brilliant of them, “Swami Vivekananda”. Sri Ramakrishna attained the Maha Samadhi on the 16th August, 1886.
“You should always discriminate between the Real and Unreal, God alone is real. The eternal substance, all else is unreal”.
Sri Sharada Devi (1853 - 1920)

He worshiped her literally as the Divine Mother.Her simple and austre life, self-effacement and Motherly love to one and all is unique and surpasses all examples. She was unique in being a devoted wife, a perfect sanyasini, affectionate mother and an ideal teacher all in one.After the Maha Samadhi of Sri Ramakrishna it was the Holy Mother who took up on herself the responsibility of looking after his spiritual children and gradually the great Ramakrishna order grew up under her able spiritual guidance.

"I am the Mother of the wicked as I am the Mother of the virtuous; whenever you are in distress, just say yourself 'I have a Mother' "
Swami Vivekananda (1863 - 1902)

Even as a boy he used to practise deep contempletion and meditation He was a thinker too robust to take things on strong faith and customary belief. He insisted on verification demanded proof before accepting anything as true. Consequently, in his quest of God, he was almost driven to the conclusion that God was a mad man’s idea. However destiny dragged him towards Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa of Dekshineswar, where he came face to face to with truth. He stayed with Sri Ramakrishna for five years and after the Maha samadhi of the Great Saint, took up the responsibility of guiding the disciples and devotees of the Master.He established the order of Sri Ramakrishna Math and Mission at Calcutta1886 and later wandered as a Parivrajaka throughout the length and breadth of the country.
