This is a group dedicated to contemplation of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda and the sages and saints of the Order of Ramakrishna, contemplation of their teachings and message, their living ideals of God and godliness, and above all, contemplation for the fulfilment of the many projects of world-welfare undertaken by the Mission. It is our firm belief that Swamiji did not speak in vain when he said that few understood the power of thought, that thought travelled far and that powerful thought-currents released from inside cave-walls would in course of time penetrate the walls and permeate space, seeking self-expression in suitable conduits. In point of fact, it was the propagation of these human-consciousness-transforming thought-currents that constituted the life-work of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda. Their superhuman austerities were directed towards this end and Swamiji aptly summed it up in the West when he said that he would be bursting a few thought-bombs on his audience at the lecture halls. He said that he would be raising tidal waves of spirituality in England and America. Such an inundation of spirituality the world would experience owing to the birth of Sri Ramakrishna that all material obstruction would be swept away and a new age of light and harmony would ensue the like of which had never before been seen. He said that since the birth of Sri Ramakrishna had started the Satya Yuga (The Age of Truth or Enlightenment) and that whosoever once bowed down before Ramakrishna would that very instant turn into pure gold.
