(Baranagar Math -- 1886-1892)

Uniqueness of Baranagar Math
in the Spiritual History of the World !

Baranagar Math is the First Monastery of Ramakrishna Order!

In the spiritual history of the world Baranagar Math is the only example where apostles of the Incarnation of God practised unprecedented Spiritual Discipline, Meditation and Austerities in such a congregation at one place.

Baranagar Math is that very place from where Swami Vivekananda set out for His historical Circumambulation of India (Bharat Parikrama) in 1889.

 “As many faiths, so many paths” – the fundamental realisation of Sri Ramakrishna, the Guru of Swami Vivekananda, which was practised by the apostles at Baranagar Math through observing the teachings of Buddha, Mohammad, Jesus Christ and other Religious great personalities. Swami Vivekananda preached the Universal Religion and propagated the great message of harmony and equal validity of all the religious faiths. Sri Ramakrishna realised the ultimate truth from varied religions through His spiritual practices in His life time.
