100 years of RKAA, Varanasi
Let us pray, Sri Ramakrishna Advaita Ashrama may fulfil the aim of its establishment by continuing to serve the aged savants and monastics and also propagating the ideas of religious scriptures at Varanasi, for long long years to come. Along with this prayer I bow down in reverence at the feet of all the revered monks, past and present of the Advaita Ashrama. Lastly offering my sastanga pranam million times at the holy feet of Lord Vishwanath and Mother Annapurna, I would utter-
विश्वेशं माधवं दुण्डि दण्डपाणिञ्च भैरवम्
वन्दे काशीं गुहां गङ्गां भवानीं मणिकर्णिकाम् ॥
Oh! Vishweswar the Lord of Kashi, Bindu Madhaba, Dhundiraj Ganapati, Dandapani Vhairava and Kala Vhairava, Oh the golden Kashi,
Jaigishavya cave, holy Ganges the deliverer of the fallen, Mother Annapurna and holy Manikarnika the liberating field to Thee, I offer my respectfull salutation again and again. Also, I offer my humble salutation to Bhagwan Sri Ramakrishna, the Holy Mother and Swamiji Maharaj, the presiding deities of the Advaita Ashrama, Varanasi.
