Sri Sarada Math
Sri Sarada Math is a convent named after Sri Sarada Devi, the consort of Sri Ramakrishna, founded on 2 December 1954. Headquartered at Dakshineshwar, Kolkata, the organisation has 35 branch centres in other parts of India, and in Sri Lanka and Australia. The nuns use the title "Pravrajika" before their ordained name, and are usually addressed as "Mataji" meaning 'revered mother'.
Sri Sarada Math also stands as the first monastic institution for Hindu women fully governed by women and without any interference from men. It was born as envisioned by Swami Vivekananda to revive the status of Hindu women in spiritual realm in the footsteps of Gargi and Maitreyi.
Sri Sarada Math is the monastic order for women established as an independent counterpart to Ramakrishna Order. The main aim of the organisation is to fulfill the mission of Swami Vivekananda, that is 'Shiva Jnane Jiva Seva' serving God in Man, irrespective of caste, creed, and nationality as well as the upliftment and empowerment of women.
The organisation mainly propagates the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta–Advaita Vedanta and four yogic ideals–Jnana, Bhakti, Karma, and Raja Yoga.
Apart from religious and spiritual teaching, the organisation carries out educational and philanthropic work in India. The Sri Sarada Math and its sister organisation, the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission, publish many Vedanta and Ramakrishna-Vivekananda texts. Ramakrishna Sarada Mission, its sister organisation also shares the same headquarters at Dakshineshwar, Kolkata.
2 December 1954, the Sarada Math was inaugurated.
From 1954 to 1958 Sri Sarada Math was a branch centre of the Ramakrishna Math at Belur. The Trustees of Belur Math assumed the responsibility of its administration.
On 1 January 1959, the birth anniversary of Sri Sarada Devi, eight Brahmacharinis of the women's Math were ordained into formal Sannyasa and given new names prefixed by 'Pravrajika' and ending with 'prana'.
