Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Sargachi, the first branch center of Ramakrishna Mission,  was founded by Swami Akhandanandaji Maharaj,a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna in 1897. Imbibed with the ideal- “Service to man is service to god” as propounded by Swami Vivekananda, the high-souled and compassionate Swami Akhandananda came forward to rescue the famine-stricken villagers of Murshidabad on 15th May, 1897 by distributing rice at Mahula, the birth place of this Ashrama, about 3 Kilometers southwest of Sargachi. The present site of Sargachi was taken over in March 1913 after 2 years of its existence at Mahula and 14 years at Shibnagar. The Ashrama has engaged itself in disaster-management, educational and healthcare activities since its inception.
            Swami Akhandananda by 40 years of his hard tapas and extensive service activities turned this unknown, remote village of Sargachi into a true pilgrimage in Ramakrishna empire. This Ashrama has been rendering its humble services to the humanity in all the above-noted sphere of activities uninterruptedly for more than one hundred years giving solace and peace to thousand of suffering people in these rural areas. But owing to high price rise and irregular public and Government contribution it has become very difficult to carry on the service activities smoothly and ceaselessly.
            To overcome this problem of paucity of funds we now proffer an appeal to all our friends,well-wishers, devotees including public, private and corporate houses to come forward to build a permanent fund of Rs. 50 lakh so that we can continue our service activities without any disruption in the days to come. It may be noted here that donation to Ramakrishna Mission are exempted from Income Tax under section 80G. Cheques/Drafts may kindly be drawn in favour of  “Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Sargachi”. 
             May the blessings of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Ma Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda be showered on all of us incessantly to bring peace and solace a little to the suffering thousands in this world of misery by our humble services.  

			Yours in the Lord
Want to Contribute			Swami Shivananthananda
