A few words about us
"Everything happened what Sri Ramakrishna had wanted to happen later. The young boys who came in contact with Sri Ramakrishna, later became monks and built the Ramakrishna Sangha. The illness of Sri Ramakrishna became the reason for the disciples to come together, got to know each other, felt a sense of affinity towards each other. It is this affinity that is the strength of a Sangha or organisation. It originated from the love the disciples felt towards their Master, Sri Ramakrishna. They had understood, Sri Ramakrishna was one of the greatest men of all ages. That he is the crucible of all spiritual wealth. Love towards him means love among men for the highest ideals of life. This love is the source of unity among his disciples. Being in close association with Sri Ramakrishna resulted in progressive increase of this dedication towards the highest ideals of life. The disciples had understood the purpose of human life and were willing to sacrifice their lives to attain this purpose. Their objective was the same, path was the same and determination to seek the path was also the same. The seed of an organisation lies in this kind of sense of unity and Sri Ramakrishna was the root of this unity. He is the body and soul of this Sangha while truth is the nucleus of this organisation which is bereft of any kind of communalism, bigotry and fanaticism."
