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.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
