Service to Man is Service to God

A Humble Appeal to the Devotees
Ramakrishna Mission follow the path shown by Swami Vivekananda, "आत्मनो मोक्षार्थम जगत हिदायत च" this is our भरत वाक्य. Ramakrishna Mission is nothing but an organisation run by two sets of people, monks and lay people who believe and follow the path shown by Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda. This ideal sentence translated would be “for the liberation of the soul and service to the world”. When we try to implement these ideals in the system of Organisation we broadly categorise two sets of activities. One set of activities are temple oriented e.g. Puja, Japam, Dhyana, Utsav, Bhakta Sammelan etc. and second sets of activities are service oriented e.g. helping society via different service activities; Medical, Educational both spiritual and secular etc.
First set of activities we carrying out as we had moderate infrastructure; daily worship of Holy Trio, Nat mandir for Bhajan-Kirtan, Japan-Dhyana, regular scriptural class and Vivekananda Hall to uphold special programms on special occasions. We are very much lacking in terms of basic infrastructure required to take up second sets of activities i.e. Service activities. We too are lacking very badly proper lodging and boarding facilities for Monks, Helping Staffs and Devotes; in the form of Monks Quarters, Staff Quarters, Guest Houses, Kitchen cum Dining Hall and an Administrative Block to run the show smoothly. With all constrains we are trying to implement the things in small level, details are as below:
| Repair & Renovation of the Old Temple block | |
|---|---|
| Renovation Area | 750 Sq. ft. |
| Market Rate | Rs. 750/Sq.ft. |
| Estimated Cost | Rs.5.25 lakh |
| Book & Article Show Room | |
|---|---|
| Construction Area | 300 Sq. ft. |
| Market Rate | Rs. 2500/Sq.ft. |

|---|---|
| Miscellaneous work | 500 Sq. ft. |
| Market Rate | Rs. 700/Sq.ft. |
| Estimated Cost | Rs.3.5 lakh |
With all humbleness, we request your generous support during this nascent period of building of needed infrastructure for the future expansion of the service activities of Ramakrishna Mission, Dibrugarh.

- Yours in the service of Humanity
