The Asram has its roots in Swamiji's beliefs and ideologies. The Living embodiment of Bharatatma, Swami Vivekananda, was a man who shared the experiences of life with common people, entered into their joys and sorrows, rejoiced with them but never forgot he was destined to execute the ideas of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Dev. The Asram believes that the miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help alone. The only solution is to make mankind pure, by lifting them from the depths of ignorance. The Ramakrishna order is at present animating all humanity to an awakening of the soul and uplift of the spirit, of Serving God in Man.
The message "Worship Shiva in Man" of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa Dev and the Holy Mother Sri Sri Maa Saradadevi was practised and propagated by Swami Vivekananda. He wanted us to do so for "Atmano Mokshartham Jagathitaya Cha" -- self-liberation and for the good of the world. This belief fuelled the initiation of Vivekananda Mission Asram by a group of selfless monks, noble hearts and it has grown into a temple of learning, distinctive culture and support for the underprivileged in the areas of education, health, training, rehabilitation and spirituality.
