About Ramakrishna Mission

It is a Hindu religious and spiritual organization, which forms the core of a worldwide spiritual movement known as the Ramakrishna Movement or the Vedanta Movement.
The mission is named after and inspired by the Indian saint Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and founded by Ramakrishna's chief disciple Swami Vivekananda on 1 May 1897.
The organisation mainly propagates the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta–Advaita Vedanta and four yogic ideals– Jnana, bhakti, karma, and raja yoga.
The mission bases its work on the principles of karma yoga, the principle of selfless work done with dedication to God.
Vivekananda was greatly influenced by his guru (teacher) Ramakrishna.
