Being a RKM student I always felt the connection and
attraction to it. Coming here for official work was warmed by the hospitality
and persona of Maharaj and people. School on top of hills among clouds made my
mind to go back by good old school days spent at RKM Rahara. The peace serene
environment around I felt home away from home. With my heartfelt greetings and respect.

Respected Swamiji,
It was a great pleasure being
here. The prayer meeting that you permitted to attend was extremely satisfying
and gave me a great deal of peace.
The information that you are
looking after and educating more than 2000 children here is an extremely
pleasant surprise, that such an important educational centre is being managed
by over a hundred dedicated educationalists in a remote part of the country is
itself a commendable fact. My best wishes to the students and congratulations
to you and your
team for the excellent work.

Most respected Swamiji,
Today I visited this great
institution to call on you since after my departure from West
Siang on transfer I have not been able to visit this institution
and inter with the esteemed and learned monks. From the interactions held today
it appears that the basic problem i.e the financial crisis in the
management of staff salary and
disbursement of stipend to students still persists. I can assure that
when I go back to Itanagar I will appraise the
concerned authorities of the state Govt. about these burning problems and seek
their consideration. May God give strength to you to run the instiltution
efficiently even with such crises and problems in the larger interest and
welfare of the people of West Siang as
envisaged in the solemn message of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda.

I am very fortunate to visit Along centre of Ramakrishna Mission.
The institution is best of its
kind. It is managed most efficiently. PERFECT TIME
MANAGEMENT. I have learnt a few
things and have many many more things to learn.
Swamiji’s ideas are propagated in
very good way. BEST part which appeals to me is ; one
of the Swami goes to the village with a projector, shows the activities
undertaken by the mission and also shows some films. The villagers gather in a
group to listen these and see programmes.
My observation is that the monks
and inmates of the Ashram are over-worked, but they keep doing their part with
a smile on their face. HATS OFF.
Respectful
pranams to all monks.

continuously engaged in providing quality school education for last forty years or
more. In my interaction with Secretary R. k. Mission School and its principal
Swami Vasihsithananda and Ravi Shankar maharaj vote in academic and co-curricular activities not only at state
level but also competed at national level. The product of
this school are occupying a high position of power in the state as well
as at national level. This achievement could not have been possible without
hard works and sacrifices made by Swamiji Maharaj and his dedicated team of
monks who have come to Arunachal Pradesh to work for the cause of welfare of
our tribal brothers and sisters.
It would be unfair on my part if
I do not convey my graititude and thanks to R. K. Mission School
authority. Extend my best wishes and pray to God Donyi – polo to give them
enough strength for the service and welfare of people of this backward state
our country.
All of them must keep it up.

years to come for the entire Arunachal and all the tribes there in.
They have put in place a
wonderful education system and place properly a model system which could be
emulated by others , country over half of the monks
who have left behind all their comforts to serve mankind.

Everyone has seen the line “ Work is Worship” written on the walls but after staying in
this Ashram I have understood what is the meaning of the line “ Work is Worship “. No one will believe what a
herculean task is been done by the monks here until and unless one personally
visits this place. Swami vashishthanandaji mhj has
shown me what is actually worship. Me and my family are overwhelmed by the
activities of the R. K. Mission , Along. One best

I heard of Ramakrishna Mission
School Along much since long but never had a opportunity to visit and interact
with revered Swamijis . Today, I am happy to interact with them by
coming inside the campus.
School has grown old.
Infrastructures have worn out. Much need to improve the infrastructures. By
school authorities alone can’t do it. Government public had to give
contribution physically morally to keep the institution alive and maintain the
standards of the school. With present scenario, authority has to manage the infrastructures, fees of the students need to be raised.
I am glad to meet the school

As a long term resident of Mysore, I was a frequent visitor to Ramakrishna Ashrama,
an institution for which I have the highest respect and admiration the school
at Mysore is
one of the finest educational institution I have seen
in my life. Ramakrishna Mission has done and is doing yeomen service in the
field of education all over the country.
I am particularly happy to learn
from the Swamiji that all the 250 seats in the hostel are reserved for
Arunachalees. This will find the Arunachalees find the rightful place in the
society where for various historical reasons, they
have been deprived of good education.
I am delighted and will come back
in the near future to participate in the function and spend more time here

loss of Biodiversity in this State. Their spontaneous participation in
discussion is remarkable. During our stay (from 1st Dec to 5th
Dec morning)we visited the secondary and higher
secondary sections of the school. We were most cordially by the Swamiji of the
School as well as the teachers. We had the privilege to attend the assembly and
the evening prayers. the ambience of the school,
discipline and polite manners of the students speak volumes about the love of
Swamijis for these underprivileged children of this state.
The school is undoubtedly one of
the best managed schools. The Secretary maharaj and
his devoted team of Swamijis have achieved the unachievable success through
their selfless service. This is a remarkable success.

When I leave this world I wish to
bequeath what remains for this beautiful creation of God to our future
generation. To do this, we need to conserve, preserve and love the environment
from the destructive model of development. A small step towards this goal is
the use of non – conventional energy sources (NCER) like solar energy, bio gas
etc. I am glad that this school is already initiated on the subject. It is
heartening to note that the school has already produced many responsible
citizens. The future of many young children in the able hands
of the Swamijis and teachers of Ramakrishna Mission School Along.

Mission. The untiring efforts of the Swamijs and teachers/staff of the school
in imparting education of an unexceptional quality to the children of Arunachal

by the development of the moral fiber of the students as aimed at by the school
is the essence for the enhancement of the educative environment in our country.
We surely hope that more and more schools would follow this
principles. Both of us wish the organization, the teachers and the

Even though I came here a number

first time that I could spend six memorable days from 16.1.97 to 21.1.97 ,
thanks to the invitation of our dear brother Suviranandaji, the present head of
this center. This time I came for the Annual celebration which went off very
well through the infinite grace of Sri Ramakrishna, Maa Sarada and Swamiji.
I was very happy to see the remarkable development
of this prestigious institution. Further, the Annual Sports meet of the other
programmes which are presented by the students were of a very high order. I was
particularly happy to see the team spirit in which all have been waking
together under the dynamic and able leadership of Swami Suviranandaji.
May this institution grow from

my sincere prayer to our Holy Trinity.

crunch of resources, shall bear fruit in building prosperous India. I salute
every worker and contributor to this pious work.
I wish if I get an opportunity, I
would like to be part of this magnificent Mission

It has been a long standing
desire for me to pay a visit this Ashram having heard that Srimat Swami Vireshwaranandaji Maharaj,
my spiritual Guru visited in 1979. By grace of Guru Maharaj and Holy Mother, it
materialized now and I could spend three days in peace of Mind in the Holy
company of the dedicated monks of the Ashram though I missed Swami
Suviranandaji who was away and I have made and unscheduled visit without prior
intimation of the dates of visit in spite of instructions from Swamiji.
It was a great pleasure and
privilege for me to go round the various activity centers of the premises
though the school was closed for vacation.
The visit to a neighboring
village where I accompanied, the mobile medical unit was an exhilarations
experience. The whole village gathered to witness the film show and some of the
people with ailments had the privilege of medical attention. My only humble
suggestion is that some films of education value for the illiterate villagers
may be appropriate while preceded or followed by a film of entertainment of
short duration.
The premises and its beautiful
scenery around is perhaps one of the best and unforgettable environment which
helps to bring out the best out of the children studying here.
If it is received with pleasure,
non – formal education to some of the adult or otherwise deprived of school
education, may be considered if feasible only with an intention of utilizing the
trip for medical help. These are only my humble thoughts after visiting the
Ashram and knowing its activities.
This visit of mine shall remain
as one of the precious experiences to last until I am alive and I shall deem it
a good fortune if I can adopt some of the systems of this institution elsewhere
if I can help it, and I shall certainly keep the Ashram informed if I succeeded
in any such attempt. Invoking the blessings of the trio.

books of Swami Vivekananda I saw practically how the Mission is doing great
service to the remotest part of this country. I strongly feel Arunachal is peaceful among seven

During my stay at Along about 1 year 2 months, I felt homely whenever I visit
this institute, I had greatest respect to Swami Suvirananda Maharaj who is

By the grace of Sri Sri

was fulfilled.
I left Itanagar at 8 am on7.5.96(Tuesday) with Swami Supriyananda and reached Along
at 8.15 pm by the vehicle sent by Swami Suviranandaji Secretary, R. K. Mission,
Along. He had made all arrangements for our smooth journey including rest and
lunch on the way at likabali with all care and caution. The journey would have
been very tiring but the Secretary Swamijis thoughtful and organizing ability.
Thanks to the lord for there was no land slide on the way due to heavy
rainfall.
We could spend 3 days in Along. The Swamiji in-charge, who has been working here for
the last 17 years was extremely kind to take round. He
explained in detail the activities of the center. I had the privilege to
address the students of the Higher
Secondary School, High
School and residents of the Hostel. The boys were well behaved and listened to
the words of advice with rapt attention. Needless to say that these
institutions are very well organized and excellently managed with modern
management techniques. The monastic brothers are loved and held in high
respects.
We were also taken to the Bene village in the mobile
van on 9.5.96 by Swami Vashisthananda ji who has learnt the local dialect –
“Adi”. He is quite popular among the Adi people and converses with them freely
as if he is one of the loved family members. We could visit 3 houses with in
the available time just to have the first hand knowledge about their life style
and also housing plan. An impressive cultural and colourful programme was also
arranges in the local community hall.
I am really grateful to Swami
Suviranandaji for having made excellent arrangements for our comfortable stay,
nutritious and delicious south Indian dishes and valuable gifts. Words are
inadequate to express my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the generous
hospitality shown to us.
I am sure under his able guidance
this unique center will grow from strength to strength and will become like a oasis in a desert.
May Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna,
Holy Mother and our hero Swami Vivekananda shower their choicest blessings upon
these dedicated workers, staff and students and dear monastic brothers - is

I consider myself lucky enough to
have visited the Ramakrishna
Mission School
this evening. I see my clearly the foundation of a brilliant India being
laid in the form of charter building of the students here. The India
of the dream of Swami Vivekananda is possible only by Patriot citizens who will
never never compromise with the honor of the
motherland, who will never bother for self and riches for their own comfort or
aggrandizement but, who, every minute will think of and so only for mother India. Only
citizen of robust character, unflinching fidelity to the country and a strong
sense of service to the countrymen, will lead the nation high with its head in
the committee of nations. I am confident, the corrupt and the corrupt persons
will have to so and make way for the honest and loyal ones. India, a Bharat
will then become a very great nation the Guru of the world in the real sense of
the term.
I had a very lively and
enlightening discussions with Swami Suvirananadaji in whose tears – deep tears the love
for the motherland and his compatrios can easily be understood in no time.
Swamiji’s able guidance is a great asset for the school. It is doing a great
service to the nation by building the character of the students.
I wish many more schools like
this may come up all over the country and that our national heritage may be
protected.

what little I had seen today. I had the privilege of joining the boys in the
evening prayers. It was a beautiful experience. They sang so well. This school
has done remarkably well in field of activity esp. studies. I am sure very few
institutions in India
can give this type of comprehensive education and produces a well – rounded
personality within the ambit of traditional mores. I only wish that Govt. could
start such institution all over country would then be bereft of multitude of

After visiting the Shillong and
Cherapunji Ramakrishna Mission Centers (then in Assam) in 1955, I had no
opportunity to come to the North – East of India so far though I had cherished
the keen interest in visiting the Ramakrishna Mission centres started after
1965 at Along, Itanagar & Narottamnagar(Deomali)
in Arunachal Pradesh well known for its green forests and wavy sub – Himalayan
ranges and enchanting natural beauty. So ceasing the reasim of the inauguration
of the beautiful Sri Ramakrishna Temple
at karimganj in Assam
on Bangladesh Eastern border north of Tripura, I made a plan of visiting the
above centres associated with the Ramakrishna Vivekananda movement after the
Karimgang function. Accordingly after visiting several centers in Tripura and
Assam, I came to Narottamnagar, close to Digboi, reached via Naharkaatia Rly,
sty, and Deomali on the 14th Feb evenings. The Ramakrishna Mission center
at N’nagar is huge educational complex catering mostly to the tribal population
with about 2000 students. Though the initial 2/3 days were cold, cloudy with
drizzles, quickly the weather became pleasant and I spent about 14 days there
enjoing the beauty of Arunachlal and visiting near by places – including
Digboi, Thinsukhia and Dibrugarh, where also inaffliciated centers are
flourishing.
I left Narottamnagar on the28th
Feb for Along, apprehensive that it being closer to
the Himalayas and farther away in the North –
East it may be cold, chilly and rainy. The Secretary Swamij (Suviranandaji
) on getting the message of my coming had sent the Mission
vehicle to bring me comfortably from sonari – Ghat after crossing the wide (
about 10 Km – Straight ) Brahma putra river by a stream boat ferry from
dibrugarh which takes about 1 ½ to 2 hrs to cross. Starting about 11:30 a.m
from Sonarighat in the vehicle we reached at 8:15 pm on the 28th Feb
travelling amidst beautiful scenes on grinding hilly road, though it was a long
tiring journey having started from N’nagar at 6 a.m.. we were also happy to see the herd of elephants on the hill
in the clearing made by Jhoom cultivation about 300ft above in daylight about 5
pm. 2K. m from Garu village towards Along.
After reaching here amidst very
good and pleasant weather all my apprehensions melted away like the mist before
the Sun by the warmth of reception of our brothers, and the very comfortable
arrangements made for my stay and entertainment. It was as if transported to
heaven by the environment, good weather,
scenic beauty, and love and care of my brother monastic’s, who are all young
compared to my 73 years.
This was not all in the next few
days of my stay, I had the opportunity to be taken round the vast educational
complex with High School, Higher Secondary School, Hostels, Playgrounds,
Librararies & laboratories, art museums & printing press, the well
stocked stores of requirements of students like Text book, notebooks,
stationery etc. for easy availability, the dispensary, the gymnasium, the
feeding place for daily free lunch to students
in the afternoon, the orchidarium, poultry, Apiary, goshala etc and the
big beautiful prayer hall in the first floor cum kitchen – dining hall on the
ground floor at the top most place of the educational complex, which is
situated in a valley with different levels and surrounded in the distance by
the hills and the Along town with the building of Assam Rifles on the hill
slopes close to Along. I also saw the 60/70 teachers quarters in the Mission area which comes nearly 70 acres.
Visitors here are numerous who
have high appreciation for the serene atmosphere of the Mission premises and
the highly beneficial it has been doing in the educational field, with high
standards, spreading education and elevating ideas and ideals among the people,
especially the tribal population. There is also the mobile medical service
given to the different tribal villages from 10 to 15 km away 4days in a week. I had the opportunity to go
with the mobile van to kabu village 11km away was very happy to see their
houses and meet their men and women folk and mix with the children. It was a
very happy occasion for both and they entertained me.
I had also the opportunity to
meet some of the military officers and commandants and have lunch with them and
also to see a school run by the Assam Rifles. I had the opportunity to give a
talk to the staff and teachers there on our movement and the ideals
of the education and the Mission of India.
It is
redeement to say that after all these experiences that the Mission center at
Along is carrying on wonderful activities of the service and spreading of high
moral and spiritual ideas and ideals. That I could notice in the several tribal
peoples both common people as well as the educated and advanced men whom I had
occasion to meet and talk to. I carry very high and enduring impressions of the
work here and my stay in Along for almost 5/6 days and I leave today with happy
memories and leave behind my best wishes for the growing success of the
Mission’s work at Along and surrounding

devotion and sincerity of the faculty members and Swamijis is reflected in the grand output in the form of able
students – who have shown themselves in
the various fields of life. There is a handful mixture of modernity an ancient

With gratitude.

I had the proud privilege to
visit the Ramakrishna Mission. It is extremely surprising and it seems
unbelievable that in such an inaccessible place such a beautiful institution
with all modern facilities could be arranged for the students. I am also astonished
to learn that the students who are in majority the local boys and girls are not
only doing extremely well in their examinations but also are securing places in
all India Merit Tests. One can easily understand the tremendous hard work and
devotion the Swamijis had to exert to bring all round success of such
Institution. I really feel that the Swamijis who are here are trying to give
practical demonstration of Swami Vivekanada’s dictum – ‘
service to men is service to God’. I hope other institutions should
follow such discipline, cleanliness and efficiency.

I saw Sharada Mission School
at Khonsa I was immensely impressed by it when, I landed here. I wanted to see
the much acclaimed standard of education and discipline among the students what
I saw was far beyond my imagination or what I could I have been put into words.
I wish all the best in the future. I hope and wish that this place will be a
model for other educational institutions in time to come.

Along. It is indeed the premier institution of its
brief in Arunachal Pradesh. What specially impressed me is the dedication of
the staff;& the healthy atmosphere in which its
students have a work. Not only are the
children made scholars but also good citizens of our country. I am sure many of
them will become future doctors, engineers, teachers, social
workers – soldiers. I wish the institution every success. I am grateful to the
management to have afforded me this opportunity for a glimpse into their noble

It is indeed very hearting to see that such good work is
being done by the mission in remote area like Along.
Today India
needs badly such Missions not in one or two but in thousands. The missionary
zeal with which each one is working be bound to
improve the general character of the masses. The change will be brought by the
young budding children. I had the pleasure to meet today.
May God bless the mission and the good work it is doing for

A visit to the Ramakrishna
Mission anywhere in the world is like a pilgrimage to me – Pilgrimage to the
rediscovery of my own self, for sustenance of all the values I cherish. But what
Ramakrishna Mission is doing in Arunachal Pradesh is something much greater and
bigger than providing individual solace and peace. It is a social and national
service, the real work of which is appreciated If we
turn our eyes to the turmoiled state of affairs in other hill states of the
North – East. Here, the sanyasis of R. K. Mission are trying indepatignely to
bring the people of these sequestered valleys to the main stream of Indian
National life. The peace that prevails in Arunachal Pradesh now speaks
eloquently of the success of the gentle sanyasis are gaining in their venture.
No politician, no administrator can achieve this with such short span of time
and with so much durability.

experience. The institution is playing the key role in the over-all development
of the area. I have no doubt that the comprehensive education being imparted
here will go a long way in promoting economic growth and national integration.
They should also now start laying emphasis on development of entrepreneurial
skills among the students so that the new generation is able to avail of the
facilities and in continues being offered by the Govt. for self employment. I
wish them all success.

Today the 9th day of May 1983,
will be remembered by me because of this visit to this institution. It is a
rare occasion to have such chances in life to visit such human institution like
this. The Swamiji of the institution has definitely devoted his life and work
upon the institution. May God bless him and his institution.
I, being a tribal, feel that some more institutions should
be constructed among the tribal’s abode so that the slumbering genius could
have awaken to the call of the day.
The memory of the visit will be stored in the hidden corner
of my heart for the days to come. The light that lit upon the top hill of
remote Along “THE RAMAKRISHNA MISSION”, will be seen
and adored by every peace loving human.

It has been a pleasure to visit
the institution once again after a lapse of eight years or so. A few minutes in
the calm atmosphere of the Ashram gives one a lot of peace. It is gratifying to
see the growth of the institution and see the children been trained to become
good students of model citizen of our country.
I wish the institution the best of luck in their laudable endeavor.

A very hearting
visit to this institution. I was lucky to come just in time for the

with the Swamiji of the institution and had a very interesting conversation
with him. He and his team are engaged in a really wonderful work in this remote

I had the privilege of visiting the R. k. Mission School Along today.
I found it to be an excellent institution in respect of inculcating the
qualities of head and heart, the discipline among students, the
dedication of the teachers in general and Swamiji in particular and physical
faculties developed in the institution are exemplary. Such institutions need
all encouragement by the state Government.

S. R. O. (education)
I had the privilege of visiting
the school and being shown round by Swamiji who took as much trouble in showing
and explaining every thing. To me however this was not really very necessary
after seeing and hearing the morning prayer and
national Anthem, there was hardly anything more that I needed to know about the
institution. If the face of the man is the index of the man the prayer activity
and programme are the index of the school. In fact nothing I needed more at
this hour------------- than the ---------------- of some values and virtues
which can give strength and creditability to our lives and society. I wish and
pray that this school shows light to more and more people – both young students
and then parents and families.

I have no words to express how
satisfying as visit to R. K. Mission, Along has always been. Today on Buddha
Purnima day, I
had the privilege of meeting the monks of the students and witnessing an
excellent cultural programme, with an underlying theme of national integration.
The RkM Along, by any standards,
is one of the first rate institutions in the country. Given the requisite
support of assistance it will grow from strength to strength and will produce
not only the great sons of Arunachal Pradesh but of the country.
I can only express my deepest
gratitude to Swami Gautamanandaji, the monks & the teachers for the great
pains that they are taking to run this institution so well. My best wishes are
with the institution.

Chief Secretary,
I had heard a lot about this
institution from my colleagues at Delhi.
I had therefore decided to visit this institution when I started from Delhi. I would call it
not a school but a temple which imparts character building, secularism,
national integration and sense of sacrifice. When teaching has become
commercial all around, this institution stands as a distinct place catering for
something which is needed for nation-building. I wish other trusts/institution
take hint from this institution and mould their teachings to their respect of
life.
