Swami Shantatmanandaji
15th April, 2007 onwards
Swami Shantatmanandaji is a
senior Monk of the Ramakrishna Order with more than three decades of
exprerience in various capacities in this organization. He had the
good fortune of spending almost the entire period of his monastic life in
Belur Math, the Headquarters of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission and he
inherited the great and noble traditions of the Order.
During the
course of his monastic life, he had also the good fortune of coming in
contact with great souls like Swami Vireswaranandaji, Swami
Gambhiranandaji, Swami Bhuteshanandaji and Swami Ranganathanandaji, who
had all occupied the highest position of the President of the order and
had brought a good name for the organization and by their spiritual
stature, greatly inspired the other Sadhus of the Order.
While at
the Headquarters in Belur Math, Swami Shantatmanandaji handled the most
complicated Accounts and Audit Department very efficiently. In July
2002 when it was decided in Belur Math to set up a separate Provident Fund
Trust for their employees at the headquarters as well as in all their
branches in india, Swami Shantatmanandaji was mainly instrumental in
setting up this Trust. He was also doing a lot of liaison work at
the Headquarters and consequently he visited Delhi a number of times to
carry on liaision work with Government offices and other public
personalities, and so he is quite familiar with many of the devotees and
volunteers of the Delhi Ashrama.
Swami Shantatmanandaji also
conducted many discourss and talks on religious and spiritual matters in
English, Bengali, Tamil and also Hindi on rare occasions.
In view
of all this, we sincerely hope that his coming to Delhi as the Head of the
centre will fulfill the aspirations of all sections of society. |
