Swami Ramakrishnananda: His Contribution to the Philosophical Tradition of the Ramakrishna Order

Born on 13 July 1863 in Ichapur village, West Bengal, to parents who were sincere spiritual aspirants, Shashi Bhusan Chakrabarty was a brilliant student of Sanskrit and Mathematics, and a scholarship holder of Calcutta University. He came to Sri Ramakrishna in 1883 and soon became his close disciple. After Sri Ramakrishna’s mahasamadhi in August 1886, in keeping with his matchless devotion and service to the Master, Swami Vivekananda gave him the sannyasa name Ramakrishnananda. On Swamiji’s instruction, he came to Madras (now Chennai) in March 1897 and worked tirelessly to establish Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai and spread the Ramakrishna – Vivekananda Movement in South India. His lectures, writings, and letters are available in three volumes published by Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai.

Sri Sarada Devi as Shodasi
The Vedanta Kesari

Sri Sarada Devi as Shodasi

The young girl stood by the window of her modest house in Jayarambati. Her eyes shone with the green of the luxuriant paddy fields as they swayed to the gentle breeze. In striking contrast to the luster in her eyes was a dull heaviness in her heart. Barring her Bhanupisi, the entire village was taunting her with the jibe that she was married to a madman. Saradamani sighed as she turned away from the window and smiled. Her people were wrong in their surmise. Whirling the hypnotic currents of the world of senses, they could not just fathom someone who defiantly stood beyond its magnetic field, mocking its famed irresistibility. Saradamani mentally embraced her Bhanu pisi, the only one outside of herself who had perceived the preternatural personality of her husband Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, and set about planning her trip to Dakshineswar, her husband’s domicile.
