More than a hundred years have gone by since the Ramakrishna Mission's saga of service began in May 1897 and a hundred and one years have rolled by since its formal registration in May 1909. This is the commemorative volume published on the occasion of the centenary of this great event and aims to delineate the ideal and the activities of the Ramakrishna Mission in brief. Printed in four colour on high quality art paper with many colour photographs.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
