Around the year 2004 the triple institutions - Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama (the Men Monastic Wing), Sharada Foundation (the Women Monastic Wing) and Sri Ramakrishna Sharada Ashrama (the Missionary and Service Wing) emerged out dedicated to the twin ideals : 'for one's own salvation and for the welfare of the world' (

- Atmano Moksartham Jagad Hitaya Ca) as set by Swami Vivekananda.

The Ashramas have provisions for Monastics, Non-monastics and Vanaprasthas interested in leading a pure spiritual life.

Our Ashrama is located amidst the wonderful pleasant lap of Mother Nature - bank of a beautiful perennial river Swarnaganga, a doom shaped slopy mound (northern slope: 135 feet high reaching down to river) in the

silent and calm retreats of the evergreen forest area of the Western Ghats of the South India, just 25 kms from Arabian sea. The place is called Bailur in the famous Karkal Taluk of the Udupi District in the South Canara region of Karnataka.

Under the banner and canopy of the Global Ramakrishna Movement, ours is an independent private organisation. It is a trust recognised by and registered under non-profit making, non-commercial public charitable trust by the IT Dept of the Govt. of India. To be more specific, in our own humble and limited way we are servants of this world and of God, seeking Him and His support in serving this world while trying to see Him in every being.

Find out more about us and our ideologies and get involved with our initiatives.

Basically, man is made of two water-tight compartments - his spiritual existence and his physical (body-mind-complex) existence. So he needs spiritual as well as physical well being. Growth of one of these parts at the cost of the other creates disharmony and is the cause of fear, anxiety, suffering, tension etc., common in modern man.

For an uninterrupted flow of the inner bliss and peace, to acquire independence from external and internal nature, man has to have harmony at every level of his existence : physical, mental, emotional, spiritual with external world of transactions and with Nature. Sri Ramakrishna has set forth such a path - both for householders and renunciates by which one can live a normal life in the world and attain this supreme goal of life. This is the essence of the world wide Ramakrishna Movement and we are a part of it.

Note : This Ashrama at Bailur, Karkala, Udupi, (Popularly known as BAILUR MATH) is not a branch of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission, Belur , but it works on the same principles and closely follows the same ideals and ideology.
