Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai, Hindu spiritual center in Mylapore, Chennai, India.
Sri Ramakrishna Math is a Hindu spiritual complex in Mylapore that houses temples, schools, libraries, and meditation facilities within a planted campus. The buildings are laid out to allow visitors to move between areas dedicated to worship, study, and contemplative practice.
It was founded in 1897 and initially operated from a different location before moving to Mylapore in 1907. The organization traces its roots to a 19th-century spiritual teacher whose followers established this institution to spread his teachings.
The site serves those drawn to Hindu teachings through daily worship, philosophical talks, and traditional singing sessions held throughout the campus. Visitors find themselves in spaces designed for both communal prayer and personal reflection on spiritual practice.
The site welcomes visitors during daytime and evening hours when regular prayer services take place. It helps to arrive during standard visiting times and be prepared either to participate or respectfully observe the activities happening around you.
The organization operates a large publishing house that produces spiritual texts in many Indian languages. These publications reach readers across the country and represent one of the major efforts to make these teachings widely accessible.
