Ashrama (Math) Activities

​​The Universal Temple of Sri Ramakrishna

As the centre grew and prospered, the need for a new and spacious temple was felt. Accordingly, the foundation for the new Universal Temple was laid by Revered Swami Gambhiranandaji Maharaj, the 11th President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission in September 1988. The new temple was completed in 1998 and consecrated by Revered Swami Ranganathanandaji Maharaj, the 13th President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, on a grand scale on 11th May, 1998, the auspicious Buddha Purnima day.
The Ashrama activities revolve around the Temple and consist of Nitya Puja (daily worship) offered to Sri Ramakrishna. The birthdays of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Ma Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda. Sri Sri Durga Puja, Sri Sri Kali Puja, Phalaharini Kali Puja, Snan Yatra, Saraswati Puja, Shivaratri are also observed with special worship and Homa.
