Our Appeal

Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai is conducting various programmes as part of 175th Birth Anniversary. The Universal Temple dedicated to Sri Ramakrishna and its surroundings need renovation and the 175^th Birth Anniversary celebration is a fitting occasion to carry this out and re-dedicate it to Sri Ramakrishna in all its splendour and glory in February 2012.
