Dear all,

Swami Vivekananda, after the triumphant tour of the west returned to India in the last week of January 1897. At Madras, Swamiji sanctified the present Vivekananda House by his stay from 6th to 14th February 1897.

Those 9 days are now celebrated as “Vivekananda Navaratri”.

To commemorate these holy days of Swamiji's stay, from Saturday, 6th February to Sunday, 14th February 2016, several programmes are to be conducted at Vivekananda House.

A “Divine Book Festival” of all the publication of Sri Ramakrishna Math & Mission is to be held on these days.

We request you to participate in these events and receive the blessings of Holy Trio.

In the service of LordSwami Gautamananda
