Answers
Answer:
The motto and the principles
The aims and ideals of the Mission are purely spiritual and humanitarian and has no connection with politics. Vivekananda proclaimed "Renunciation and service" as the twofold national ideals of modern India and the work of the mission strives to practice and preach these.
The vision and mission of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission is best described in the words of its great founder Swami Vivekananda —
“My ideal indeed can be put into few words and that is: to preach unto mankind their divinity and how to make it manifest in every movement in life”.
तन्नो हंस: प्रचोदयात् (Tanno hamsah prachodayat), meaning, “May the Paramatman, Supreme Self [symbolized by] the Swan (hamsa), awaken our [higher] understanding.”
“It [Belur Math] will be a centre in which will be recognized and practiced a grand harmony of all creeds and faiths, as exemplified in the life of Sri Ramakrishna and only ideas of religion in its universal aspect will be preached. From this centre of universal toleration will go forth the shining message of goodwill and peace and harmony to deluge the whole world… This math shall become a great centre of learning and spiritual practices… The highest principles and ideals of religion have not only to be studied and comprehended but brought into the practical field of life… The spiritual force coming from here will permeate the whole world, turning the currents of men’s activities into new channels. From here will be disseminated ideals harmonizing jnana, bhakti, karma and yoga… There should be first annadana, or the giving of food and other necessities of physical life; next vidyadana or imparting of intellectual knowledge; and last of all jnanadana or conferring of spiritual knowledge. The harmonizing of three aspects that conduce to the making of man, must be the sole duty of the Math… We shall make this Math a great centre of harmony. Sri Ramakrishna is the visible embodiment of the perfect harmony of all ideals… We must see to it that people of all sects and creeds, from the brahmana down to the chandala, will find on coming here their respective ideas manifested. Granted that by realizing the Atman in meditation you attain mukti (liberation) but what is that to the world. We have to take the whole universe with us to mukti. Then only you will be established in the eternal truth. In that state you will be speechless, carried beyond yourself, by seeing your own Self in every being that breathes, and in every atom of the universe. When you realize this you cannot live in this world without treating everyone with exceeding love and compassion. This indeed is practical Vedanta.”
