Ramakrishna Order Emblem (Swami Vivekananda)
Union of Karma, Jnana and Bhakti Yoga to achieve the vision of Paramatman (Vivekananda)
Realization of the Bhagavad Gita Course
Vivekananda (Childhood-death of Ramakrishna, Cape Comorin, London, Back to India)
The emblem of the Ramakrishna Order was designed by Swami Vivekananda himself.
It represents the union of Karma (Action), Jnana (Knowledge) and Bhakti (Devotion) to achieve the vision of Paramatman.
The meaning behind this emblem, in the words of Swami Vivekananda himself:
“The rippling waters of the image symbolize Karma, the lotus of Bhakti and the rising sun of Jnana. The circling snake is indicative of Yoga and the awakening of Kundalini Shakti, while the swan in the image represents Paramatman. Therefore, the ideal of the image is that by the union of Karma, Jnana and Bhakti Yoga, the vision of the Paramatman is obtained.”
“Be free. This is the whole religion”, say Swamiji.
Today the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission run more than 1200 educational and healthcare institutions across the World. Its detached ownership and management model is based on the principles enunciated in the Bhagavad Gita. Without a doubt, this is one of the key factors that have made this organization have a history of 120 years.
How many institutions do you know as long-lived as the Ramakrishna Mission?
