1. Establishment of Ramakrishna Mission

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) established the Ramakrishna Mission on 5 May 1897 in the name of his guru Ramakrishna Paramahansa. Its main objective was to convey the ideals established by Hindu sages over hundreds of centuries and the importance of the vast and glorious tradition to the general public. In today's article, we will know the purpose, principle and contribution of Ramakrishna Mission.

Swami Vivekananda wanted to establish such an organization whose members could teach the lessons of self-respect and service to the country by uplifting the morale of the people of the country. To fulfill this purpose, he established an organization called Ramakrishna Mission.

1. Propagation of Vedanta.
2. To increase harmony among different religions.
3. Service to the poor is service to God.
Swamiji propagated Vedanta not only in India but also in foreign countries. Even today, about 130 branches of Ramakrishna Mission are established in other countries of the world including India.
