Sarva Sampradaya Samanvaya Day - Sadhu Sammelan (Monks Meet)

On Day 4 (February 25, 2012) of the Celebrations Sadhu Sammelan (Monks Meet) was organized in view of Sri Ramakrishna's liberal and catholic views on harmony of religiouss sects and faiths and so this day carried the theme 'Sarva Sampradaya Samanvaya Day' (Harmony of Sects Day). Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai had invited Religious Heads, Representatives and Monks from various Hindu Monastic and Religious Traditions to participate in the Sadhu Sammelan,  say a few words of benediction and bless the devotees.

Religious Heads, Representatives and Monks from around 15 Hindu Religious Sects and Maths (Monasteries) belonging to Shaiva, Vaishnava, Vedantic and Hindu new Monastic Orders attended the Meet and delivered inspiring and enlightening speeches (in Tamil).

This meet was probably unprecedented as it witnessed the Hindu Religious Heads and Monks from different sects, for the first time, assemble on the same stage — who rarely seen to attend the same function, let alone sharing the same dias.
