About Us
Ramakrishna Math, Barisha, a branch centre of Belur Math is the ‘Home for the Aged’. The vast expanse of green covering 3 acres of land, the age-old trees, the lily pool, the chirping of thr birds, the serene ambience at dawn and dusk have elevated the Home to an Ashrama-virtually the Vanaprasthashrama.
The Home for the Aged is not a shelter for the ‘throw away’ community. It offers them an opportunity to strive towards the highest Purushartha, i.e. Moksha or Salvation.

Corpus Fund For Home For Aged
We need corpus fund to subsidize the cost of stay of the inmates including the free boarders in the current scenario of falling bank interest. We wish to accommodate as many 'free' boarders as possible, subject to availability of funds. As recurring expenditure on this account is growing fast, it is becoming more and more difficult to meet it from our meagre resources
