Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Ramharipur

Ramharipur, Dt. Bankura, West Bengal 722 203, India

Sub-Centre : Amarkanan

The Amarkanan Sri Ramakrishna Sevadal Ashrama, established in 1924 by the venerable Late Sri Gobinda Prasad Singha—a courageous freedom fighter and an ardent disciple of the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi—has, for over a century, stood as a sanctified beacon of spiritual enlightenment and selfless service. Founded upon the lofty ideals of renunciation and dedicated action, the Ashrama blossomed into a revered sanctuary of inner quest and humanitarian endeavor in the heart of Bengal. Its sacred grounds have been hallowed by the footsteps of some of India’s most illustrious sons—Mahatma Gandhi,  Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, and the national poet Kazi Nazrul Islam—each of whom visited the Ashrama in person, drawn by its divine aura of devotion, simplicity, and tireless service to humanity.

In 2020, the Ashrama was graciously taken over by the Ramakrishna Mission and now functions as a sub-centre of the Ramharipur branch. True to the legacy of its founder and the guiding principles of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda, the Ashrama continues its spiritual and humanitarian work. Its present activities include a boys’ hostel, a charitable homeopathic dispensary, and various welfare initiatives such as the distribution of clothes and shawls to the needy. Daily worship and the devout celebration of the birthdays of the Holy Trio are observed with great reverence, upholding the timeless ideal of the Ramakrishna Mission—“Atmano mokshartham jagat hitaya cha”—for the liberation of the self and the welfare of the world.
