Ramakrishna Mission Vijayawada

Welcome to Ramakrishna Mission Sitanagaram

Ramakrishna Mission, Vijayawada is a branch centre of world renowned Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission having its headquarters at Belur Math, Howrah – West Bengal. This centre has two locations one in Vijayawada city and the other is in Sitanagaram under nearby Tadepalli Municipality. It is a matter of great pleasure that a centre of service in the name of Sri Ramakrishna took shape as early as in 1955.

Sri Bapiraju and a group of ardent devotees of Sri Ramakrishna made their sincere efforts to start a centre in Vijayawada which was fulfilled in 1956 They formed an association called Ramakrishna Seva Samiti and established the present City Centre. They built a Prayer Hall and a School offering both spiritual and educational services to the public. Later they started a school at Sitanagaram.

Further, the devoted, earnest and enthusiastic group succeeded in affiliating both these centrese as the full-fledged branch of Ramakrishna Math and Mission. Swami Sashikantananda ji Maharaj became the first head of this branch in 2001. For the past 70 years the institution has been serving the public at large in various ways while incorporating gradual development and expansion by stages.

FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENT

Japa Yajna

Japa Yajna is a five-day spiritual camp in the serene surroundings of the Ashrama. It is specifically meant for those devotees of Sri Ramakrishna who have taken initiation (Mantra Deeksha). It provides them an opportunity to practice spiritual disciplines in the holy atmosphere of the Ashrama sanctified by the visit and stay of Swami Vivekananda. During their stay the participants are to complete telling their beads (Japa) one hundred thousand times. This programme is interspersed with Bhajans & Sankeertana, readings from ‘the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna’, spiritual discourses, etc. The Ashrama makes arrangements for their food and stay without any charge.

The aim of the project

There are several devotees who receive Mantra Diksha from the Ramakrishna Mission. Many are unable to undertake regular spiritual practice due to pressures of work and worldly duties but are nevertheless eager to discipline their minds and direct it to God. Japa Yajna provides them an opportunity to mould their spiritual life through solitude, satsanga and singing, as exhorted by Sri Ramakrishna, and learn to “apply oil onto their fingers” while dealing with this sticky world.
