New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Ramakrishna Mission to mark Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary on January 12.
“I am excited to be in West Bengal today and tomorrow. I am delighted to be spending time at the Ramakrishna Mission and that too when we mark Swami Vivekananda’s Jayanti. There is something special about that place,” Modi tweeted.
Modi also expressed his unfortunate feeling that late Swami Atmasthananda, the 15th president of the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramkrishna Mission, will not be there during his visit.
“Yet, there will be a void too! The person who taught me the noble principle of ‘Jan Seva Hi Prabhu Seva’, the venerable Swami Atmasthananda Ji will not be there. It is unimaginable to be at the Ramakrishna Mission and not have his august presence!”, Modi said.

Swami Vivekananda established the Ramakrishna Mission with the twin ideals of “Atmano Mokshartham Jagad Hitaya cha”, meaning, “For the freedom of the self and for the good of the world”.
