Answer:
wami Shivananda, the second President of the Ramakrishna Order, was popularly known as ‘Mahapurush Maharaj.’Born probably in 1854 at Barasat of West Bengal, in a respectable and deeply religious family, Tarak – that was his original name – got a good education, both secular and spiritual. When he was working in Calcutta in an English Firm, he got an opportunity of seeing Sri Ramakrishna about whom he had already heard. Later, when he met Sri Ramakrishna at Dakshineswar, the later was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was the son of Ramkanai Ghosal, his old friend. Needless to say that Tarak had the full approval of his father for becoming the disciple of Sri Ramakrishna.Tarak was the first person to join the monastery at Baranagore after the demise of the Master, and was christened ‘Swami Shivananda’ while receiving the monastic orders. Though Tarak had been married, he had successfully kept up the vow of brahmacharya (celibacy). This made Swami Vivekananda remark in later days that he was a ‘Mahapurush’. This name stuck and be became known as ‘Mahapurush Maharaj’. Like his brother-disciples, he also spent a few years as an itinerant monk. But he had to settle down at the monastery in 1897 after the triumphant return of SwamiVivekananda from the West. For some time he was in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) also, preaching Vedanta at the behest of Swami Vivekananda. He also took a leading part in the first plague relief work of the Ramakrishna Mission in 1899. It was he who started the Ashrama at Varanasi. But the most memorable part of his life was during his stewardship of the Ramakrishna Organizations as the President from 1922 to 1934, when he blessed a large number of people with initiation and brought spiritual solace and comfort to thousands of devotees. He passed away on the 20th February, 1934 after a protracted illness which, never alienated him from his Lord whose presence he was constantly aware of. He was one of the finest examples of the fact that the beauty and sublimity of the inner life of a holy man can never be described in words but can only be tangibly felt.
