Kerala. Some Of Them Have Been Affiliated To The Ramakrishna Math And
Mission. Others Are Functioning Separately. Sri Ramakrishna Sarada
Ashrama Is One Such.

Swami Ramakrishnanandaji Took Over As Its President. The Later Was An
Initiated Disciple Of Swami Virajanandaji, A Disciple Of The Holy Mother Sri
Sarada Devi And The Sixth President Of Ramakrishna Math And Mission.
