DESCRIPTION:Ekadasi is one of the regular festivals celebrated in all centres of the Ramakrishna Math & Ramakrishna Mission across the world and Ramnama Sankirtanam is sung by the congregation on this day. \nThe singing of this Sankirtanam was started by Srimat Swami Brahmanandaji Maharaj who was the spiritual son of Sri Ramakrishna.

SUMMARY:Swami Abhedananda Tithi Puja
DESCRIPTION:SWAMI ABHEDANANDA\n Pre-monastic name : Kali Prasad Chandra\n Date of Birth : 2 October 1866\n Place of Birth : North Kolkata \n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in a fairly well-to-do family\, Kali had a great eagerness to learn yoga from his boyhood. He gained a good grounding in Sanskrit and English. At the age of 18\, when he was studying for the school final examination\, he went to Dakshineswar and met Sri Ramakrishna. Under the guidance of the Master\, Kali practised meditation and was soon blessed with several visions. \n\n\n\n\n\nKali became a frequent visitor to Dakshineswar. He served the Master during his last illness. After the Master’s passing away\, he joined the Baranagar Math and underwent sannyasa ordination\, assuming the name Swami Abhedananda. At the Baranagar Math he used to shut himself up in a room and do intense meditation or study. This earned him the sobriquet “Kali Tapasvi”. He spent several years visiting places of pilgrimage on foot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1896 Swami Vivekananda brought him to London for Vedanta work there. The next year he crossed over to USA and was given charge of the newly founded New York Vedanta centre. His profundity of scholarship\, incisive intellect and oratorical power elicited widespread admiration\, and people thronged to listen to him. He was also a prolific writer and his books on life after death\, etc are famous. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter his long and successful work in America Swami Abhedananda returned to India in 1923. Soon he established a separate organization named Ramakrishna Vedanta Math and started living at the new centre. However\, he maintained cordial relationship with his brother monks at Belur Math which he visited occasionally. He presided over the Parliament of Religions at the Town Hal\, Kolkata\, as a part of the celebration of the Birth Centenary of Sri Ramakrishna.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHe left the mortal frame on 8 September 1939. Of all the contributions that Swami Abhedananda made to Ramakrishna Movement\, the most widely appreciated and enduring one is his composition of sublime and beautiful hymns (in Sanskrit) on Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Sarada Devi. His hymn to Holy Mother beginning with Prakritim paramam abhayam varadam\, which is sung in many ashramas and homes\, is unrivalled in the depth of conception and felicity of expression. \n\n\n\n\n\nsource: https://belurmath.org/swami-abhedananda/ \nThere will be a discourse on the life & teachings of Swami Abhedanandaji Maharaj after evening arati by Swami Kalyanatmananda. The discourse will be streamed live on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/rkmkhar/live

SUMMARY:Swami Akhandananda Tithi Puja
DESCRIPTION:SWAMI AKHANDANANDA\nPre-monastic name : Gangadhar Gangopadhyay\nDate of Birth : 30 September 1864\nPlace of Birth : Kolkata \n\n\nBorn in an orthodox family Gangadhar lived a pure\, disciplined life from boyhood. At the age of nineteen he went to Dakshineswar Kali temple. Sri Ramakrishna received him cordially and gave him several instructions. Since then he started visiting the Master and also cultivated friendship with the other young disciples\, particularly with Naren (later\, Swami Vivekananda). \nWhen the Baranagar Math was formed after Sri Ramakrishna’s mahasamadhi\, Gangadhar did not join it immediately. Instead\, he set out on a long pilgrimage in 1886 which took him to different places in the Himalayas and Tibet. After three and a half years\, he returned to Baranagar monastery in June 1890. He then took sannyasa vows formally and assumed the name Akhandananda. \n\n\nIn mid-July 1890 Swami Akhandananda again set out\, this time in the company of Swami Vivekananda\, on a pilgrimage which took them to different places in the Himalayas. When Swamiji left for the West\, Akhandananda continued his wanderings in western India. Towards the end of 1895 he returned to the Math which had been shifted to Alambazar in Kolkata. When Swami Vivekananda\, after his return from the West\, reached Kolkata in February 1897\, Swami Akhandananda enthusiastically participated in the reception accorded to Swamiji.\n\n\n\nAfter a few days\, when Swamiji left for Darjeeling\, Akhandananda travelled towards Murshidabad. Reaching there he was distressed to find a famine raging. He immediately started famine relief work with whatever he could collect. Later Swami Vivekananda sent more funds and the relief operation was organized on a full scale. This was the first relief operation organized by Ramakrishna Mission. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter relief work Akhandananda started an ashrama with an orphanage in Sargachhi\, in the Murshidabad district. He served the orphan boys as manifestations of God. \nIn 1934\, after the passing away of Swami Shivananda\, Swami Akhandananda became the President of Ramakrishna Math and Mission. From that time he divided his time between Belur Math and Sargachhi. He participated in the celebration of the Birth Centenary of Sri Ramakrishna in 1936. Owing to old-age ailments he became weak. He passed away on 7 February 1937. \n\n\n\n\n\nSource: https://belurmath.org/swami-akhandananda/ \nThere will be a discourse on the life & teachings of Swami Akhandanandaji Maharaj after evening arati by Swami Devakantyananda. The discourse will be streamed live on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/rkmkhar/live
