Ramakrishna Math, Jamtara

Arindam Chakroborty 22 months ago

It is one of the most sacred pilgrimage place for devotees of Ramakrishna Math & Mission. In 1921 this ashram was established on 3 bigha land.
The entrance of the ashram surrounded by greenery is very gorgeous. Structure of the main building, monk’s quarter and prasad bhavan are also very impressive. Moreover flowers, orchard, cowshed, pond, storage of straw – fills the mind with tremendous happiness. Swami Vivekananda's ethics are still obeyed by the monks of this ashram, for example – free eye care camps, mobile medical services in remote villages, relief camp for deprived village dwellers, distribution of blankets & clothes, education among indigenous children and distribution of milk etc.
"Swami Sanakananda" is the current president of this ashram; he is a sweet-spoken, hardworking, affectionate monk of Ramakrishna Order.
This ashram was blessed by the footsteps of Swami Shivananda (Mahapurush Maharaj), a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. Currently Covid protocols are firmly preserved here.

Timing for visitors: 9 am – 11 am / 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Very peaceful place. Divine and serene experience. If you're lucky you might get some knowledge and insights from Swami Sanatananda himself.
