Question: I am a young engineer working in a private concern in Bangalore. I am a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda. I want to take initiation from our math. Kindly inform me about the next initiation program. I want to worship the Holy Trinity in my home. Currently in my daily prayer I chant ARATRIKAM the work done by Swamiji and VIVEKANANDA ASHTOTHRAM. Is this enough? Before taking initiation doing like this is correct. Kindly clarify my doubts.
Answer: Be in touch with your nearest centre to know when the President or the Vice-President of our Order visit Bangalore. In order to be eligible for initiation you need to note following points:
You should have read at least short biographies of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Maa and Swami Vivekananda with their important teachings. Preferably, you should be in touch with some center of Ramakrishna Order and known to some Swamiji. You need to fill up a form well in advance.
Please revert back to us for further clarification. Presently what you are practicing is enough.
