The expansive Math building, built in 1911, was declared open
by Lord Harding, Viceroy of India, in the presence of the
Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Sringeri and the Maharaja
of Mysore. This Math is located near
Basavanagudi locality and is 2 kms from City
Market area.
Built in 1996, the Ashram has nine statues of the Hindu gods
(Navagrahas) - Surya, Chandra, Budha, Shukra, Mangala, Guru,
Shani, Rahu and Kethu. The giant Vishwa Roopa Vijaya Vittala
statue made of black granite, stands outside the Ashram. This
Ashram is situated in Nelamangala, on Tumkur Road.
Citizens of Bangalore who met Swami Vivekananda in 1905 set
up a Vedanta Society. Swami Ramakrishnananda, a disciple
of Sri Ramakrishna, established a permanent centre for the
Ramakrishna order in the Basavanagudi area. The Math was completed
in 1909. The Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi stayed here for nine
days in 1911. The activities of the Math include daily worship
of Sri Ramakrishna, bhajans, religious discourses and publication
of religious books.
