Project to mark birth anniversary of Sri Sarada Devi

By Our Staff Correspondent

MYSORE, MARCH 26. Sri Ramakrishna Ashram here will implement a project to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Sri Sarada Devi to be celebrated shortly. The project, "Sri Ma Sarada Darshan'', will feature a set of 40 multicoloured posters depicting the life and message of Sri Sarada Devi, which will be exhibited across the country. The posters will be distributed to various centres, including institutions and individuals, willing to exhibit them.

The cost of each set is Rs. 1,000 and is available in English, Kannada, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Oriya, and Assamese. The ashram proposes to manufacture nearly 1,000 kits to spread the message of Sri Sarada Devi. The total cost of the project is estimated to be Rs. 22 lakh and the cost of each kit is Rs. 2,200. Ashram sources said that it was yet another initiative of the Mysore centre of Sri Ramakrishna Ashram to spread the message of peace and brotherhood. The Mysore centre had initiated a similar exhibition to spread the message of Swami Vivekananda among the youth. It had launched a cultural rejuvenation drive with a focus on the youth in rural areas of the State.

Meanwhile, volunteers of the ashram here are busy preparing exhibition kits to be distributed in April.
