RAMAKRISHNA MISSION INTRODUCTION Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission are twin organizations which form the core of a worldwide spiritual movement (known as Ramakrishna Movement or Vedanta Movement), which aims at the harmony of religions, spiritual fulfilment, all-round development of human faculties and peace for all humanity, without any distinctions of caste or creed, race or religion or nationality. RAMAKRISHNA MATH is a monastic order for men brought into existence by Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886), the great 19th century saint/mystic of Bengal, who is regarded as the Prophet of the Modern Age. RAMAKRISHNA MISSION is a registered society in which monks of the Ramakrishna Math and lay devotees cooperate in conducting various types of social service, mainly in India. It was founded by Sri Ramakrishna’s chief disciple and religious leader, Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), who is regarded as ‘one of the main moulders of the modern world’.. HISTORY Born in 1836 in a pious Brahmin family at Kamarpukur, a remote village of West Bengal, Sri Ramakrishna attained the highest exalted state of spiritual illumination. Shortly after the passing away of this prophet of harmony of religions in August 1886, a monastic order bearing his name was organized in pursuance of his own instructions, with a monastery (Math) at Baranagar, a northern suburb of Kolkata, by his monastic disciples headed by Swami Vivekananda. Gradually it set for itself in a twofold ideal: 1) to create a band of Sannyasin (monks) as propounded and practically illustrated by Sri Ramakrishna; and 2) in conjunction with the lay disciples to carry on religious and philanthropic work, looking upon all, as veritable manifestations of the Divine. The Ramakrishna Math was registered as a trust in 1901. Ramakrishna Mission was registered in 1909 under Act XXI of 1860 (see Appendices A and B). Its management was vested in a Governing Body. Both the Math and the Mission gradually extended their spheres of activity, as a result of which a number of branches in different parts of India and abroad came into existence.

Swami Vivekananda on Service to Humanity Do you love your fellow men? Where should you go to seek for God — are not all the poor, the miserable, the weak, Gods? Why not worship them first? Why go to dig a well on the shores of the Gangâ? Believe in the omnipotent power of love. Doing good to others out of compassion is good, but the Seva (service) of all beings in the spirit of the Lord is better. He who wants to serve the father must serve the children first. He who wants to serve Shiva must serve His children — must serve all creatures in this world first. It is said in the Shâstra that those who serve the servants of God are His greatest servants. It is a privilege to serve mankind, for this is the worship of God. God is here, in all these human souls. He is the soul of man. Let me tell you again that you must be pure and help any one who comes to you, as much as lies in your power. And this is good Karma. By the power of this, the heart becomes pure (Chitta-shuddhi), and then Shiva who is residing in every one will become manifest. This is the gist of all worship — to be pure and to do good to others. He who sees Shiva in the poor, in the weak, and in the diseased, really worships Shiva; and if he sees Shiva only in the image, his worship is but preliminary. He who has served and helped one poor man seeing Shiva in him, without thinking of his caste, or creed, or race, or anything, with him Shiva is more pleased than with the man who sees Him only in temples. 11

OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of the Home is to provide education, care and protection to children who lack adequate parental support while respecting the rights and dignity of every child. At the same time efforts are made to inculcate moral and spiritual values in them based on the ideals enunciated by Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. These ideals evolve around character building through the development of the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical and mental faculties. This is carried out in the Home through a disciplined life incorporating a well-balanced blend of physical exercise, games, studies, moral education and prayers. The boys are provided with a conducive environment to enable them to grow into responsible, wholesome individuals. They are provided with opportunities to develop their potentials to become useful members of society. From the point of admission, we are working towards discharge through intensive case work and therapeutic programmes. The ultimate objective of the Home is to re-integrate the children and their families as soon as possible. Hence parents are encouraged to take the boys on home leave every weekend and during their school vacations where situation permits. Professional staff interact with the parents to facilitate the building of good relationship between the boys, their parents and the Home. Admission Criteria: Boys in the age group 6 to 18 belonging to the following categories are admitted to the Home: boys without parents or guardians, boys with single-parent, boys of parents who are unable to provide for them and boys who are referred to the Home by other Voluntary Welfare Organizations and the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF). Admission Procedure: Cases are initially assessed by the Social Worker & subsequently referred to the Admission & Discharge Committee for approval. After ascertaining the eligibility of the case, the child is admitted, subject to the availability of a school in the neighborhood.

FAMILY SUPPORT & COUNSELLING PROGRAMME (FSCP): A Preventive Therapeutic Intervention Programme’ for persons from 2.5 to 65 years of age. The programme completed its 8th year of service. A)

CLINICAL COUNSELLING SERVICES: 1. Pre-School Services: Targeted at pre-schoolers from 2.5 years old to children below 7 years old. Common challenges: school adjustment & school refusal due to various types of fears and / or separation anxiety. Behavioural challenges such as non-compliance towards teachers / parents coupled with emotional irregulation such as temper outbursts and temper-tantrums in school and at home. Socially awkwardness is yet another concern as poor inter-personal relationships with peers affects the child’s self confidence. Other unique challenges are learning difficulties which may arise from a developmental delay. A small group of selected pre-schoolers may also need a bit more attention as they may be bordering the spectrum of special needs. With a little bit of support and targeted intervention the preschooler’s socio- emotional and academic abilities can be enhanced with the pre-school programme. Methodology: We adopt various types of ‘expressive therapies’ such as art and play therapies, sand tray & symbol work and other forms of expressive therapies as the intervention are tailor-made to the needs of each child. Validation: The Early Intervention Programme has been in service since 2009. Evidence shows that early therapeutic intervention ensures the pre-schoolers successful transition from pre-school to a more formal primary school education. The service is only available at the Centre. 2. Primary & Secondary School Services: Targeted at the local and international primary and secondary school children & youths between 7 to 20 years.

Parents too experience a sudden loss of control of their young adult making it harder for them to exert controls over the youth’s boundary over friends, computer gaming, smoking and / or drinking addictions. Methodology: A ‘Systemic Framework’ is adopted in our counselling interventions which is aimed at strengthening the young person’s resilience and self-identity during their developmental years in which the young person’s individuating process is necessary as they enter adulthood.

UNIVERSAL MESSAGE OF RELIGIONS & SCRIPTURES “Let everyone follow his own religion ... A truly religious man should think that other religions are also so many paths leading to truth. We should always maintain an attitude of respect towards other religions. As you rest firmly in your own faith and opinion, allow others also equal liberty to stand on their own faith and opinion. When the grace of God descends, every man will understand his own mistakes.” - Sri Ramakrishna One should not hurt others even by words. By indulging in rude words, one’s nature becomes rude. One’s sensitivity is lost if one has no control over one’s speech. - Holy Mother Sarada Devi There is no higher virtue than charity. The lowest man is he whose hand draws in receiving, and he is the highest man whose hand goes out in giving. The hand was made to give always. Give the last bit of bread you have, even if you are starving. You will be free in a moment if you starve yourself to death by giving to another. Immediately you will be perfect, you will become God. - Swami Vivekananda He who helpeth his fellow creatures in the hour of need, and he who helpeth the oppressed, him will God help in the day of travail. - Islamic Scripture But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rush doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasures be, there will your heart be also. - Christian Scripture This Atman, resplendent and pure, whom the sinless monks behold residing within the body, is attained by unceasing practice of truthfulness, austerity, right knowledge, and continence. - Hindu Scripture God is one, but He has innumerable forms. He is the creator of all and He Himself takes human form. - Sikh Scripture What is Hateful to you, Do not do to your fellow, That is the whole torah, and the rest is commentary. - Jewish Scripture One need not scale the heights of heavens nor travel along highways of the world to find Ahura Mazda. With purity of mind and holiness of heart one can find Him in one’s own heart. - Zoroastrian All that we are is the result of what we have thought, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage. - Buddha
