Dear Friend,

Namaste!

In order to facilitate the smooth execution of the multifarious- activities of the Ashrama, we have started the construction of an auditorium in the Ashrama premises. We have also planned the construction of gopurams for the existing Universal Temple of Sri Ramakrishna. The details of these two projects are given below in the appeal brochure.

The estimated cost for the constructions of the Sabhangana & the gopurams are Rs. 2 crores & Rs. 15 lakhs respectively. We appeal to you to contribute towards these 2 projects according to your means & mite. We look forward for your participation in these noble causes.

May Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sharada Devi & Swami Vivekananda shower their choicest blessings on you all, is our sincere prayer!

Yours in the Service of the Lord,

Swami Raghaveshananda
