THE GENERAL REPORT OF VIVEKANANDA FOUNDATION

(FROM 1^ST APRIL 2016 TO 31^ST MARCH 2017)

“The Lord is always with me. Follow me, if you will, by being intensely sincere, perfectly unselfish, and above all, by being perfectly pure, my blessings go with you. In this short life there is no time for the exchange of compliments. We can compare notes and complement each other to our hearts’ content after the battle is finished. Now do not talk; work, work, work”

——– Swami Vivekananda

PREAMBLE

More than two decades ago when Swami Sarvadevananda was posted at Ramakrishna Math & Mission – Sikra-Kulingram, he came across with various voluntary social and spiritual organizations in the Sundarbans and other remote areas of the North 24 Parganas District in West Bengal. A few enthusiastic young teachers received great inspiration by coming in contact of the Ramakrishna Mission Sadhus and attending the Annual Youth Camps of the Vivekananda Yuva Maha Mandal to build their own character, as well as the character of the men, women, and youth of their localities by forming small groups. The poverty, unemployment, helplessness, misery of women, etc. of that geographic area touched their souls to a great extent. Hence, they started to work for their upliftment.

Swami Divyananda of the Ramakrishna Order contacted them, inspired them, and helped them to organize such groups for the proper social, economical,cultural and educational upliftment in the humanitarian ground in the light of spiritual development in the spirit of Ramkrishna order inspired by Swami Vivekananda. Swami Sarvadevananda, while at Sikra Math, Sikra-Kulin Gram, North 24 Parganas visited these places with the local teachers and professors from Basirhat and first started conducting lectures on spirituality. Thereafter, from 1994, through an informal group of devotees and followers of Sri Ramakrishna, amongst whom late Shyamapada Mitra (Kanchan) was the leader, continued to help these organizations dedicated for the betterment of the society. Gradually the work had been spread over in different remote areas of other district of W.B. This work impacted positively on the lives of the residents for a decade, without any official name or organization.

FORMATION OF THE VIVEKANANDA FOUNDATION

Finally, with the blessings of Sri Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda and with the advices of Swami Sarvadevananda (now at the Vedanta Society of Southern California, Hollywood, U.S.A.) & Swami Jnanavratananda of Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission ( Belure Math ), India, late Shymapada Mitra, created a Registered Trust in Kolkata, India named as the VIVEKANANDA FOUNDATION. Till his untimely demise, he was the designated Settler and the first Secretary for undertaking various social services and humanitarian activities, as well as spiritual work.

“Go from village to village; do good to humanity and to the world at large. Go to hell yourself to buy salvation for others. … “When death is so certain, it is better to die for a good cause”

— Swami Vivekananda

3^rd Cover page

The Foundation draws its inspiration from

The messages of “Thakur-Ma-Swamiji”

“God is the ocean of Mercy. Be His slave and take refuge in Him. He will show compassion. Pray to Him: ‘Protect me always with your compassionate face. Lead me from the unreal to Real, from darkness to Light, from death to Immortality. Reveal Yourself to me and protect me always with your compassionate face.”

n Sri Sri Ramakrishna

“Never fear, He is ever looking after you. Do His work and practice Sadhana. A little work daily drives away idle thoughts from the mind. A solitary and inactive life is liable to be troubled with idle thinking.”

n Holy mother Sri Sarada Devi

“Hold your money merely as custodian for what is God’s. Have no attachment for it. Let name and fame and money go; they are a terrible bondage. Feel the wonderful atmosphere of freedom. You are free, free, free! Oh, blessed am I! Freedom am I! I am the infinite! In my soul I can find no beginning and no end. All is myself. Say this unceasingly.”

n Swami Vivekananda
