Of these, four magazines have completed 100 years of publication. Prabuddha Bharata is into its 125th year of publication, Udbodhan into its 121st year, The Vedanta Kesari into its 107th year, and Prabuddha Keralam into its 106th year of publication. Now, there is one more feather in the cap of the Order’s magazine publication with Sri Ramakrishna Vijayam, our Tamil magazine joining this centenary club.
Sri Ramakrishna Vijayam started its publication in 1921 from Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai under the guidance of its then head Swami Sarvananda. Over these 99 years Vijayam has carved a special niche for itself in spreading the message of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda across Tamil Nadu. For scores of people it is a touchstone for understanding the deeper truths of Vedanta and Hinduism in practice.
Vijayam is a role-model for other Tamil spiritual magazines. The people behind its illustrious journey are its dedicated monastic editors, and numerous admirers. From among the earlier editors, the noteworthy stalwarts are Swamis Vipulananda, Rudrananda, Chidbhavananda, and Paramatmananda. Sri R. Ramakrishnan and Sri Anna Subramaniam, disciples of Swami Shivananda who was a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, were closely involved in the publication of Vijayam.
