Spiritual & Cultural
Work |
Both the Math and the Mission lay emphasis on dissemination of the spiritual and the cultural ideas of India.
They do this through regular classes, meetings, public celebrations, publication of books, etc. Attempts are made by these
means to make people aware of their moral and spiritual legacy, of the fact that life becomes worthwhile when one lives for others.
In case of religion, they preach only the universal truths of the Vedanta as exemplified in Sri Ramakrishna's life and teachings.
People are made to understand that they are potentially divine and they have immense possibilities.
They are also taught to respect all religions as valid paths to the same God and love all beings as their own selves.
These messages are carried to a larger section of the people through the publication of books and journals on Ramakrishna-Vivekananda, Vedanta and Indology.
More than ten centres publish books in English, Bengali, Hindi and other Indian Languages.
