Ramakrishna Math Barisha
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.
