Swami Sharvananda, disciple of Swami Brahmananda, a luminary of the Order. He advocated women's uplift and worked against all odds to achieve the same. A towering personality, an erudite scholar and a monk of great attainments, Sharvanandaji resigned from the Vice-Presidency of the Order and left the Order in 1948 to dedicate himself to the cause of women's empowerment as had been envisaged by Swamiji. He established a girl's school and an Ashrama at Jhargram in West Bengal to pursue his ideal of service to humanity in the light of his inner realizations and his interpretation of the message of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda. Swami Sharvananda, the thunderous monk, passed away in 1970 and thus his unfinished task of women's regeneration lies with us for fulfilment. May all come forward and carry forward the Mission of Swami Sharvananda which is Ramakrishna-Vivekananda's Mission, the awakening of Shakti in India.
