The Role of the Ramakrishna Mission and Human
TOWARDS SERVING THE MANKIND: THE ROLE OF THE RAMAKRISHNA MISSION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA Karabi Mitra Bijoy Krishna Girls’ College Howrah, West Bengal, India sanjay_karabi @yahoo.com / [email protected] Abstract In Indian tradition religious development of a person is complete when he experiences the world within himself. The realization of the existence of the omnipresent Brahman --- the Great Spirit is the goal of the spiritual venture. Gradually traditional Hinduism developed negative elements born out of age-old superstitious practices. During the nineteenth century changes occurred in the socio-cultural sphere of colonial India. Challenges from Christianity and Brahmoism led the orthodox Hindus becoming defensive of their practices. Towards the end of the century the nationalist forces identified with traditional Hinduism. Sri Ramakrishna, a Bengali temple-priest propagated a new interpretation of the Hindu scriptures. Without formal education he could interpret the essence of the scriptures with an unprecedented simplicity. With a deep insight into the rapidly changing social scenario he realized the necessity of a humanist religious practice. He preached the message to serve the people as the representative of God. In an age of religious debates he practiced all the religions and attained at the same Truth. Swami Vivekananda, his closest disciple carried the message to the Western world. In the Conference of World religions held at Chicago (1893) he won the heart of the audience by a simple speech which reflected his deep belief in the humanist message of the Upanishads. Later on he was successful to establish the Ramakrishna Mission at Belur, West Bengal. -
Divya Sandesha
DIVYA SANDESHA Pujya Shri Ramchandraji Maharaj’s (Shri Babuji) letters to Sri S.A.Sarnadji Divya Sandesh: A Collection of letters of Pujya Shri Ramchandraji Maharaj (Shri Babuji) of Shahjahanpur to Shri (Late) S.A.Sarnadji, edited by Smt. Shakuntala Bai Sarnad and published by Shree Prakashana, NGO Colony, Jewargi Road, Gulbarga. PUBLISHER’S NOTE After the demise of Sri S.A.Sarnadji, while searching the papers of old house at our village and other immoveable property, we could find a bunch of letters and few Sanskrit books kept safely. These letters are in Urdu, Hindi and English. We learnt that Urdu letters are written/got written by Pujya Babuji Maharaj to Sarnadji. The other letters are written by Sri Ishwar Sahaji, Sri Raghavendra Raoji and Dr. K.C Vardachariji. We were inspired by these letters and thought of publishing Pujya Babuji’s letters with translations so as abhyasi brothers and sisters would be benifited and they can see the original hand writings of a great special personality Pujya Babuji Maharaj. We felt irrelevent since these letters are written to Sarnadji in a personal capacity and not as an office bearer. Probably Sarnadji must have thought likewise and did not take any interst in this regard and moreover none of our family members was aware of these letters. Though these letters are personal, the need to publish the letters with translations was felt to enable the true seekers of spirituality to perceive the message of love, advice and guidance embodied therein lest these letters written in formative years of a Sadhaka with humility, compassion and concern by Pujaya Babuji Maharaj may be lost for ever. -
VIVEKANANDA and the ART of MEMORY June 26, 1994 M. Ram Murty, FRSC1
VIVEKANANDA AND THE ART OF MEMORY June 26, 1994 M. Ram Murty, FRSC1 1. Episodes from Vivekananda’s life 2. Episodes from Ramakrishna’s life 3. Their memory power compared by Swami Saradananda 4. Other srutidharas from the past 5. The ancient art of memory 6. The laws of memory 7. The role of memory in daily life Episodes from Vivekananda’s life The human problem is one of memory. We have forgotten our divine nature. All the great teachers of the past have declared that the revival of the memory of our divinity is the paramount goal. Memory is a faculty and as such, it is neither good nor bad. Every action that we do, every thought that we think, leaves an indelible trail of memory. Whether we remember or not, the contents are recorded and affect our daily life. Therefore, an awareness of this faculty and its method of operation is vital for healthy existence. Properly employed, it leads us to enlightenment; abused or misused, it can torment us. So we must learn to use it properly, to strengthen it for our own improvement. In studying the life of Vivekananda, we come across many phenomenal examples of his amazing faculty of memory. In ‘Reminiscences of Swami Vivekananda,’ Haripada Mitra relates the following story: One day, in the course of a talk, Swamiji quoted verbatim some two or three pages from Pickwick Papers. I wondered at this, not understanding how a sanyasin could get by heart so much from a secular book. I thought that he must have read it quite a number of times before he took orders. -

BELUR MATH, DIST: FAX: 033-2654-4346 HOWRAH Email: [email protected] WEST BENGAL : 711202, INDIA Website: www.belurmath.org April 27, 2015 Dear Virajaprana, I am glad to receive your e-mail of April 24, 2015. Swami Prabuddhanandaji and myself met for the first time at the Belur Math in the year 1956 where both of us had come to receive our Brahmacharya-diksha—he from Bangalore and me from Bombay. Since then we had close connection with each other. We met again at the Belur Math in the year 1960 where we came for our Sannyasa-diksha from Most Revered Swami Sankaranandaji Maharaj. I admired his balanced approach to everything that had kept the San Francisco centre vibrant. In 2000 A.D. he had invited me to San Francisco to attend the Centenary Celebrations of the San Francisco centre. He took me also to Olema and other retreats on the occasion. Once he came just on a visit to meet the old Swami at the Belur Math. In sum, Swami Prabuddhanandaji was an asset to our Order, and his leaving us is a great loss. -

Shraddha's Book
1 The Beautiful Lady of my dream 2 A Danda Swami’s Tribute conveyed to the author by Swami Mangalananda Giri Something interesting happened that you will appreciate. An 84-year-old Danda Swami is staying at the ashram during the rains. He speaks very good English and frequently comes to my room. He asked for any book about Ma, and I told him to browse my “library” which now extends the full length of one wall. Without any prompting from me, he went directly to your book “In Her Perfect Love”, and I gladly lent it to him. After a day he came back and was literally raving about the book. He said, ‘If I sold everything in the world, it would not pay the price of this book. I’ve been mad for this book since I started it - reading it day and night.’ I told him I communicated with you and would pass on his enthusiasm.

“ That This House, on the 150Th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda
The year 2013 is a very important year in the eventful calendar of the Ramakrishna Mission. This year happens to be the 150th Birthday Anniversary of Swami Vivekanada. Swamiji, as we call him, life’s mission was to propagate the teachings of the Vedanta, in the light of realisation of Sri Ramakrishna who is his master, throughout the world. “Swamiji has left behind a rich legacy for the future generations, in his writings on the four yogas, speeches, poetic compositions, epistles etc are in his book of complete works of Swami Vivekanda.” His birthday celebration has been celebrated throughout the world, of note in January 2013 UK Parliament recognised the valuable contribution made by Swamaji. The statement from the UK Parliament is: “ That this House, on the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, recognises the valuable contribution made by him to interfaith dialogue at international level, encouraging and promoting harmony and understanding between religions through his renowned lectures and presentations at the first World Parliament of the Religions in Chicago in 1893, followed by his lecture tours in the US and England and mainland Europe; notes that these rectified and improved the understanding of the Hindu faith outside India and dwelt upon universal goodness found within all religions; further notes that he inspired thousands to selflessly serve the distressed and those in need and promoted an egalitarian society free of all kinds of discrimination; and welcome the celebrations of his 150th Birth Anniversary in the UK and throughout the World” Vedanta Society, Brisbane Chapter celebrated the 150th Birthday Celebration and the 176th Birthday Celebration of Sri Ramakrishna on the 9th March 2013. -
