Description:

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (1836-1886), a 19th-century saint, was the founder of the Ramakrishna Order of monks and is regarded as the spiritual founder of the Ramakrishna Movement.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) was his foremost disciple. Ramakrishna Jayanti is celebrated on March 15 every year.

Ramakrishna was a priest in the Dakshineswar Kali Temple and attracted several monastic and householder disciples.
He educated himself in a higher sense by mastering the Hindu epics, embodying the great spiritual ideals of India through listening to their recital and exposition by scholars, and above all by going direct to Nature to study men and things through observation.

After the death of Ramakrishna in 1886, the monastic disciples formed the first Math (monastery) at Baranagore.
Later Swami Vivekananda became a wandering monk and in 1893 he was a delegate at the 1893 Parliament of the World’s Religions.
