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.
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.
-Swami Vivekananda
