SUMMARY:Swami Premananda Tithi Puja
DESCRIPTION:SWAMI PREMANANDA\nPre-monastic name : Baburam Ghosh\nDate of Birth : 10 December 1861\nPlace of Birth : Antpur\, a village 30 miles from Kolkata. \n\n\n\n\n\nBaburam first heard about Sri Ramakrishna from the great devotee Balaram Bose to whom his elder sister was married. While studying at the Metropolitan Institution\, Rakhal (later known as Swami Brahmananda) was his classmate. One day Rakhal took Baburam to Dakshineswar. Sri Ramakrishna recognized Baburam to be an extraordinarily pure soul (“pure to the marrow of his bones”)\, an ishvarakoti. Soon Baburam lost interest in his studies and came to live with Sri Ramakrishna as his attendant. During the Master’s last illness at Cossipore\, Baburam was one among those who nursed him round the clock. After the Master’s passing\, when the new Monastic brotherhood was formed at Baranagar\, Baburam joined it. \n\n\n\n\n\nHe underwent sannyasa ordination and assumed the name Premananda. Except for short pilgrimages\, he spent his days mainly at the monastery when it was in Baranagar and also when it was shifted to Alambazar. When Belur Math was established\, Swami Premananda took charge of worship in the shrine. Later he became the Manager of the Math. The pure unconditional love that he radiated exerted tremendous influence on those who came into contact with him\, and hundreds of devotees flocked to see him. He had a motherly interest in feeding people\, but he also inspired them with his spiritual exhortations which flowed out from the depths of his heart. Towards the end of his life\, he went on a tour of East Bengal. There his radiant personality and inspired talks created great enthusiasm\, particularly among the youth. On his return\, he fell seriously ill and passed away at Balaram Babu’s house on 30 July 1918.\n\n\nSource: https://belurmath.org/swami-premananda/ \n\nThere will be a discourse on Life of Swami Premananda by Swami Jiveshwarananda on Thursday\, 1st December 2022 after Evening Arati at Universal Temple\, Ramakrishna Math\, Mumbai. \nThe discourse will also be streamed live on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/rkmkhar/live

SUMMARY:Swami Shivananda Tithi Puja
DESCRIPTION:SWAMI SHIVANANDA\nPre-monastic name: Taraknath Ghoshal\nDate of Birth: 16 December 1854\nPlace of Birth: Barasat\, east of Kolkata \nSpecial Puja and Homa will be performed on the occasion of Tithi Puja of Swami Shivananda on Monday\, 19th December 2022 from 7.00 am onwards. There will be also a discourse on the Life of Swami Shivananda by Swami Divyeshananda after Evening Arati at Universal Temple\, Ramakrishna Math\, Mumbai.\nPROGRAMME DETAILS \n \nSWAMI SHIVANANDA\nIn accordance with the custom of those days\, Tarak was married in his teens but\, with the consent of his young wife\, he lived an absolutely chaste life. Years later\, when Swami Vivekananda came to know of this\, he called him ‘Mahapurush’ which meant ‘great soul’\, and since then he came to be known as ‘Mahapurush Maharaj’. \nAfter completing school final\, Tarak took up a job in order to help his father. But he used to practice spiritual disciplines. He saw Sri Ramakrishna for the first time at the house of Ramachandra Datta in May 1880. A few days later he went to Dakshineswar and surrendered himself fully to Sri Ramakrishna. From then on he began to practice intense prayer and meditation under the Master’s guidance. Three years later his wife died; Tarak renounced hearth and home and started living sometimes in a devotee’s house and sometimes in lonely places. \nAfter the Master’s mahasamadhi\, when Baranagar Math was started\, Tarak was one of the first to join the brotherhood. With sannyasa ordination\, he received the name Shivananda. He\, however\, spent several years leading an intensely contemplative life at different places in north India\, and returned to Math in 1896. \nWhen Swami Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Mission in 1897\, he sent Swami Shivananda to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to spread Vedanta there. A year later Swami Shivananda returned to Math. In 1902\, just before Swami Vivekananda’s mahasamadhi\, he went to Varanasi to start the Advaita Ashrama thereof which he remained the head for seven years. In 1910 he was elected Vice-President of Ramakrishna Mission. In 1922\, after the passing of Swami Brahmananda\, he became the second President of Ramakrishna Math and Mission. He travelled to different places blessing sincere seekers with spiritual initiation. Like Swami Brahmananda\, he stressed meditation along with work. He gave great importance to prayer as a form of Sadhana. He was full of love and compassion\, and sincere seekers flocked to him. \nIn April 1933 he suffered a stroke and developed paralysis of one side. On 20 February 1934\, a few days after Sri Ramakrishna’s birthday\, Mahapurush Maharaj left the body for the heavenly abode. His memory is kept alive at Belur Math in the small room adjacent to the Old Shrine. \nsource: https://belurmath.org/swami-shivananda/

SUMMARY:Swami Saradananda Tithi Puja
DESCRIPTION:Swami Saradananda\n Premonastic name: Sharat Chandra Chakravarty\nDate of Birth: 23 December 1865\nPlace of Birth: Kolkata \n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in an affluent family\, Sharat was always calm and quiet and pious in his boyhood. He joined the medical college with the idea of becoming a doctor\, but discontinued his studies in order to serve Sri Ramakrishna. Along with his cousin Shashi (who stayed with Sharat’s family) he joined the Brahmo Samaj\, and in 1883 they went together to Dakshineswar. Sri Ramakrishna drew them to him like a powerful magnet. During the Master’s last illness Sharat also\, like Shashi\, dedicated himself to serving the Master day and night. \nAfter the Master’s passing\, Sharat joined the Baranagar monastery and took the vows of sannyasa assuming the name Swami Saradananda. After spending a few years in pilgrimage and tapasya along with his brother monks\, he returned to Baranagar Math in 1891. When Swami Vivekananda started extensive preaching work in the West\, and felt the need for another brother monk to assist him\, Swami Saradananda was brought to the United States in 1896. His calm and gentle disposition\, courteous and loving manners and able exposition of Vedanta won him many friends and admirers in America. \n\n\n\n\n\nBut Swami Vivekananda\, who founded the Ramakrishna Mission soon after his return to India in 1897\, saw that a highly capable person like Saradananda was necessary to manage the affairs of the Math and the Mission. So Saradananda was called back to Kolkata and made the General Secretary of Ramakrishna Math and the Mission\, a post which he held for nearly three decades till the end of his life. By his mature wisdom\, clear thinking\, the strength of mind and devotion to Sri Ramakrishna and Holy Mother\, he guided the course of the twin organizations in those formative years when political agitation against the British rule was gaining momentum in India.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApart from his important work as General Secretary\, Swami Saradananda is remembered for several other types of great service that he rendered. The first one was his taking over the Udbodhan\, the Bengali journal of Ramakrishna Math and Mission\, as its editor and publisher in 1902 when Swami Trigunatitananda left for America. The second one was taking upon himself the full responsibility of looking after the needs of the Holy Mother whether she stayed in Jayrambati or Kolkata. His third work was writing the monumental biography of Sri Ramakrishna known as Sri Ramakrishna Lila Prasanga in Bengali (translated later into English under the title Sri Ramakrishna the Great Master). His last great work was the construction of the temple dedicated to Holy Mother in 1921 on the spot where her sacred body was cremated in Belur Math\, and another temple at Mother’s birthplace in Jayrambati in 1923. \nHe was loved and respected by hundreds of people. He was a great support\, especially to women. In the first week of August 1927 he suffered a stroke. Two weeks later on 19 August 1927\, he breathed his last. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource: https://belurmath.org/swami-saradananda/ \n\nThere will be a discourse on Life of Swami Saradananda by Swami Tannamananda on Wednesday\, 28th December 2022 after Evening Arati at Universal Temple\, Ramakrishna Math\, Mumbai. \nThe discourse will also be streamed live on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/rkmkhar/live
