2023 - 125 Years of Ramakrishna Mission | Commemorative Coin

The 19th commemorative coin for the year 2023 was released to celebrate the '125 Years of Ramakrishna Mission'.

Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission is a Hindu religious, spiritual and philanthropic organisation headquartered in Belur Math, West Bengal. The mission is named after the Indian Hindu spiritual guru and mystic Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Deva. 

Swami Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Mission on 1 May 1897. True to the motto he set before the organization, ‘आत्मनो मोक्षार्थं जगद्धिताय च’ (for one’s own liberation and for the welfare of the world), the Ramakrishna Mission, along with its twin organization Ramakrishna Math, is upholding lofty moral and spiritual ideals and serving people all over India and some countries abroad, and has earned widespread recognition.

The Math and the Mission are the two key organisations that direct the work of the Ramakrishna movement. The Ramakrishna Math, alternatively referred to as the Ramakrishna Order, is a monastic institution associated with the religious movement established by Ramakrishna in 1886. The primary emphasis of the Math lies in the cultivation of spiritual development and the dissemination of the movement's doctrines

The Mission acquired legal status when it was registered in 1909 under Act XXI of 1860. Its management is vested in a Governing Body. Though the Mission with its branches is a distinct legal entity, it is closely related to the Math.

The elected trustees of the Math also serve as the Mission's Governing Body. Vedanta Societies comprise the American arm of the Movement and work more in the purely spiritual field than social welfare.
