The Ramakrishna Order was founded by the patriotic saint Swami Vivekananda in 1897, with its Headquarters at Belur Math, West Bengal. Though Swami Vivekananda formally founded this Order, it can be said that it was Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa who laid the firm foundation for this order during his last illness.

 

The Inspirations:

It was the year 1868. In the Holy City of Deoghar an interesting incident took place during the pilgrimage of Sri Ramakrishna to Northern India. Mathur Nath Biswas, a wealthy landlord of Calcutta, accompanied him. One day while passing through a neighboring village, Sri Ramakrishna was greatly distressed to see the wretched condition of its people. Moved by sympathy for them he said to Mathur, "You are the steward of the Mother. Feed these poor people and give everyone a piece of cloth." Mathur hesitated saying, "This pilgrimage will cost a lot of money, and there are many people here. We may run short of funds if we try to feed and clothe these poor people. But Sri Ramakrishna was inexorable. He shed tears at the sight of such abject misery and said in anguish, "Fie upon you! I am not going to Benaras, I prefer to remain with these helpless people, with the poor people." Mathur of course yielded. Like a petulant child he left Mathur's company and sat with the poor villagers. At the sight of his compassion, Mathur was much moved and ordered clothing from Calcutta to distribute among them and feed them. Sri Ramakrishna then cheerfully started for Benaras.

Sri Ramakrishna was ready to forego His pilgrimage to serve the distressed. Herein is the seed of the Ramakrishna Movement which emphasizes the worship of "The Living God".

One day, at Dakshineswar, the Master was speaking about the three salient disciplines of Vaishnava religion: love of God's name, compassion for all living beings and service to the devotees. Repeating the word compassion he said to the assembled devotees, "How foolish to speak of compassion! Man is an insignificant worm crawling on earth - and he is to show compassion to others! This is absurd. It must not be compassion, but service to all. Recognize them as God's manifestations and serve them." Only Narendra (Later Swami Vivekananda) understood the implication of the Master's words. Leaving the room he said to others: What a wonderful light I have discovered in those words of the Master! How beautifully he has reconciled the ideal of Bhakti with the knowledge of Vedanta, generally interpreted as dry, austere and incompatible with human sentiments! What a grand, natural and sweet synthesis! Those following the paths of Karma and Yoga are similarly benefited by these words of the Master. The embodied being cannot remain even for a minute without activity. All his activities should be directed towards the service of man, the manifestation of God on earth, and this will accelerate his progress towards the goal. If it be the will of God, I shall one day proclaim this noble truth before the world at large. I shall make it the common property of all - the wise and the foolish, the rich and the poor, the Brahmin and the Pariah."

Thus Narendra conceived Service to the humanity as a grand idea at an early age. After the passing away of the Master in 1886, the close band of sixteen disciples took monastic vows. Narendra (now as Swami Vivekananda) undertook to travel the length and breadth of his motherland. He studied the living conditions of the people.

He walked up to the Southern tip of India, Cape Comorin. He sat in deep meditation on a rock out in the sea of Kanyakumari - almost the last bit of India. On one side of him there was the vast land of India -Swami Vivekananda during his Itinerant days mute, inactive, humbled and despondent, yet clinging with all her might to the invaluable treasure of her spirituality - and all the other sides spread the infinite ocean - ever agitated, ever varying in moods and symbolizing the inexhaustible play of human energy that lay on the other shore. The scene vividly dramatized the mental problem of the Swami at that time. Was there a solution to the apparent contradiction? Could the East and the West ever meet in terms of friendship? Could spirituality and material prosperity co-operate for the betterment of humanity as a whole? As he pondered, a definite plan flashed into his mind, and he raised from his lonely seat, in those closing days of 1892, an enlightened Seer of modern age, with the new light shimmering in his eyes. Alluding to this event he wrote from Chicago in 1894: "at Cape Comorin, sitting in Mother Kumari's temple, sitting on the last bit of Indian rock, I hit upon a plan: We are so many Sannyasins wandering about, and teaching people metaphysics - it is all madness. Did not our Gurudeva say, "An empty stomach is not good for religion?" ... Suppose some disinterested Sannyasins, bent on doing good to other, go from village to village, disseminating education and seeking in various ways to better the condition of all down to Chandala - can't that bring forth good in time? We have to give back to the nation its lost individuality, and raise the masses.

 

Swamiji further writes from America to his brother monks, "If you want any good to come, just throw your ceremonials overboard and worship the Living God, the Man-God - every being that wears a Human Form."  "To do the highest good to the world, every one down to the lowest - this is our vow...Ramakrishna Paramahamsa came for the good of the entire world."
