The ideology of Ramakrishna Math and Mission consists of the eternal principles of Vedanta as lived and experienced by Sri Ramakrishna and expounded by Swami Vivekananda.This ideology has three characteristics: it is modern in the sense that the ancient principles of Vedanta have been expressed in the modern idiom; it is universal, that is,it is meant for the whole humanity; it is practical in the sense that its principles can be applied in day-to-day life to solve the problems of life.

Swami Vivekananda spread the message of his Master, Sri Ramakrishna to the West.He taught that human beings are basically divine and not sinners. The impact of the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna can be clearly observed as the people all over the world have realized and accepted the concept of “service to humanity is service to God” and that the spread of good will to all, irrespective of caste, colour, creed and religion, will ultimately bring an end to all evils ushering in thereby a new civilization based on harmony, good will, peace and service to humanity.
