VIVEKANANDA'S FIRST TRANCE AT DAREKASA, NEAR GONDIA

Sri Ramakrishna Satsang Mandal, Gondia, is a Charitable Philanthropic Organisation and a Member of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Bhav Prachar Parishad, Maharashtra under the guidance of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, Howrah. It is a Spiritual and Service oriented Organisation. It has played a vital role in spreading the message of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda-Vedanta Literature in and around the city of Gondia. Today, the activities of the Ashrama have expanded, imparting value-based education and medical services to the poor and needy people.

The Motto and Principles

The aims and ideals of the Ashrama are purely spiritual and humanitarian and has no connection with politics. Swami Vivekananda proclaimed “Renunciation and Service” as the twofold national ideals of modern India and the work of the Ashrama strives to practice and preach these. The service activities are based on the message of “Jiva is Shiva” from Ramakrishna and Vivekananda’s message of “Daridra Narayana” to indicate that service to the poor is the service to God. The Principles of Upanishads and Yoga in Bhagavad Gita reinterpreted in the light of Ramakrishna’s Life and Teachings is the main source of inspiration for the Ashrama. The service activities are rendered looking upon all as veritable manifestation of the Divine.

The ideology of Sri Ramakrishna Satsang Mandal Gondia consists of the eternal principles of Vedanta as lived and experienced by Sri Ramakrishna and expounded by Swami Vivekananda. This ideology has three characteristics: it is modern in the sense that the ancient principles of Vedanta have been expressed in the modern idiom; it is universal, that is, it is meant for the whole humanity; it is practical in the sense that its principles can be applied in day-to-day life to solve the problems of life.

In the year 1970-1971, three people from Gondia namely, Sri Madhav Kale (Professor of English), Sri Mitra (Manager of BATA), and Sri Ravindra Shrivastava (Professor in N.M.D. College, Gondia) inspired by Sri Ramakrishna’s life and teachings, started reading Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna in a group for many years. Afterwards two devotees namely, Sri Rajamohan Tiwari (Head Master of a local School) and Sri Ratilalbhai Chawda (Businessman) joined them. Later, they started Satsang on every Sunday at Sri Rajamohan Tiwariji’s house.
