Face of man looks beautiful, when it expresses the innermost innocence. Man sees things through his eyes. Not only he sees, he observes; the more he feels the thirst to know, more he wants to express. This is all what he wants. He displays himself in this very unique way. Thus the mannerism grows, with the growth of life. This is life – behaviors bring successive kinship within our social aspects. This is what the light of a man's life is all about. The reverse identifies ill-humanism. Admirations depend on dealings. Dealings create a man. But in treatment many of us forget how to behave. We tend to forget that everybody expect the right blend of humanism. But privation is a meanness that causes damage to the sweet harmony between us. Although we have a good faith, a belief and maintenance in ourselves as a nature, we sometimes forget ourselves and make damage right in the frontline. We forget the truth, which is the "Rock Of Gibraltor". There may be discord; that does n...

THE ABOVE TEMPLE IS THE OLD TEMPLE. BELOW ARE THE PICTURES OF THE NEW TEMPLES! IS IT NOT BEAUTIFUL? Swami Vivekananda on his triumphal return from the West was requested by the devotees in Madras (now Chennai) to start a Math here. To fulfil their earnest desire Swamiji sent his brother-disciple Swami Ramakrishnananda to Madras in March 1897 and thus Sri Ramakrishna Math,Madras, came into existence. After reaching Madras, the first thing Swami Ramakrishnananda did was to set up a small shrine for Sri Ramakrishna at a rented house. He lived there and led a life of renunciation service and austerities. Slowly he built up the institution as the present Sri Ramakrishna Math which is a hub of muiti-pronged service activities. This is the oldest centre of the Ramakrishna Order in the South.Sri Ramakrishna Math completed hundred years of its service in 1997.
