Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai - Things To Do In Chennai #4

Vanakkam, Makkale,

As you all know, we are doing "Things To Do In Chennai" series. The recent place that I visited in Chennai was Sri Ramakrishna Math, Mylapore, Chennai. Despite knowing about this place for almost 25 years now, I never happened to visit this place until very recently.

Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai is the first branch center of the Ramakrishna Order in Southern India. It was started in the year 1897 by Swami Ramakrishnananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. Besides Swami Ramakrishnananda, the Math was visited by Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Brahmananda and Swami Shivananda. The motto of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission is: For one’s own salvation, and for the welfare of the world {Source: Here}

The moment I entered this Universal Temple, I was spellbound by its mighty infrastructure. It is so gigantic, marvelous, and beautiful, to say the least. These pictures have no filter, and taken through a mobile camera, yet the beauty of the place is so beautiful that it reflects in these pictures.
