The Contribution of Ramakrishna Mission (RKM) towards World Culture
Main Article Content
Abstract
In Indian tradition, the religious development of a person is completed when he experiences the world within himself. Sri Ramakrishna, a Bengali temple-priest propagated a new interpretation of the Hindu scriptures. Without formal education, he interpreted the essence of the scriptures with unprecedented simplicity. With deep insight into the rapidly changing social scenario, he realized the necessity of a humanist religious practice. Therefore, adopting a modern perspective, this paper attempts to highlight the contribution of Sri Ramakrishna in India towards the world culture. Qualitative methods through a systematic sociohistorical analysis that summarized the literature based on documents, books and journals are used in this paper. The results show that the Ramakrishna Mission movement has contributed significantly to Indian civilization in education, humanity, literature and spirituality. Although they are not politically involved, their contribution remains significant in shaping a free-thinking, self-respecting and fearless citizen towards British colonial in India.
