Ramakrishna Math is a religious monastic order, considered part of the Hindu reform movements. It was set up by Swami Vivekananda based on the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna in Kolkata, India. The ''Ramakrishna Math'' is headquartered at Belur Math (in West Bengal, India), and shares the location with the related organisation, the Ramakrishna Mission. It also has Advaita Ashrama branches at Mayavati, near Almora and in Kolkata. ==Monastic order== Ramakrishna Math consists of monks (Sannyasins and Brahmacharins) belonging to a monastic order for men. After the passing away of their Master Sri Ramakrishna in 1886 the young disciples under the leadership of Swami Vivekananda organized themselves into a new monastic order. The original monastery at Baranagar called Baranagar Math was shifted in January 1899 to a newly acquired plot of land at Belur in the district of Howrah. The Genesis'' 〔A Concise Encyclopaedia of Hinduism, Swami Harshananda〕 During his lifetime, Ramakrishna gathered and trained his young disciples with Narendranath (future Vivekananda) as their anointed leader. It is these disciples - some of whom were also blessed with monastic robes by Ramakrishna himself, that formed the core of a new monastic order that bears his name now. Swami Vivekananda and sixteen others were the founders of this order. After taking formal monastic vows through appropriate rituals (12 at first and the rest at different times later) they assumed new names as follows (based on seniority in age): * Gopal - Swami Advaitananda (1828-1909) * Taraknath - Swami Sivananda (1854-1934) * Baburam - Swami Premananda (1861-1918) * Yogindra - Swami Yogananda (1861-1899) * Harinath - Swami Turiyananda (1863-1922) * Narendranath - Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) * Rakhal - Swami Brahmananda (1863-1922) * Sasibhusan - Swami Ramakrishnananda (1863-1911) * Tulasi - Swami Nirmalananda ( 1863-1938) * Gangadhar - Swami Akhandananda (1864-1937) * Kaliprasad - Swami Abhedananda (1866-1939) * Saratchandra - Swami Saradananda (1865-1927) * Saradaprasanna - Swami Trigunatitananda (1865-1914) * Subodhachandra - Swami Subhodananda (1867-1932) * Hariprasanna - Swami Vijnanananda (1868-1938) * Latu - Swami Adbhutananda (died 1920) * Nityaniranjan - Swami Niranjanananda (died 1904) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramakrishna Math」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
