  • 5/5 Divyesh W. 1 year ago on Google • 303 reviews
    This Math was established by disciples of Shri Ramakrishna. The original structure crumbled soon after building it. So there was another structure built, which is now referred to as old temple. Recently a new structure is built and it is referred to as new temple. Entire premises are clean and very well maintained. It has positive vibes which you can feel as soon as you enter this place. I preferred to sit for some time in the new temple, it gave me absolute peace of mind. Would definitely recommend to go there and spend some quiet time.

    Meditation is an art to forget, forgive and thereby connect with the supreme power – the Almighty. It works like a magic wand and brings peace and positive energy, rejuvenating mind and soul. Sri Ramakrishna Math in Chennai provides the right ambiance and silence that is essential for meditation. Inspired from the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda, the Ramakrishna Math preaches secularism and, thus, is also called the Universal Temple. The magnificent architecture reflects a blend of traditional Dravidian, Hindu, Buddhist and Jain styles of architecture. From its 60-feet tall gateway, one can possibly see the central tower (Vimanam) and the sanctum sanctorum (Garbha Mandira). The forecourt of the Ramakrishna Math is very Mughal in its styling with wide lawns, broad and colourful pathways and ornamented parapets. The white marble statue of Sri Ramakrishna seated over a lotus, in the Garbha Mandira looks elegant. There are also shrines of Sri Sarda Devi and Swami Vivekananda on either side of the Garbha Mandira. There is also an auditorium dedicated to Swami Ramakrishnananda where satsang (spiritual talks) and bhajans (spiritual songs) are conducted. The central stairway adds to the beauty of the temple and lands in a wide portico (Mukhamandapam) that is supported by four columns, each of which is intricately decorated. The main prayer hall has adequate provisions for light and air with large windows and doors. The Vimanam is at a height of 102 feet and thus dominates the entire structure. Besides this, the Math offers charitable medical and rehabilitation services. The temple is open to people from all religions, sect or creed and thus is universal in the true respect.

    For years and years I have been visiting this temple. Located in the main road connecting Mylapore,opposite to PS higher secondary boys school, parking your vehicle in the parking slot and leaving your chappals in the shoe stand, you enter the most sacred place the meditation hall. There are a fleet of stairs to climb ofcourse railings are provided. Switching off your cell phones, a huge hall welcomes you. There are two partitions - men, women separate seating. Pin drop silence is maintained. Statue of Sri Ramakrishna pa Ramachandra is seen, where you could pray for as long as you want. Coming out you should take a small round the temple which is full of green gardens and lovely flowers. As you exit, your eyes won’t miss the boardings, on the left side is the library and a full of the temple with well maintained garden. A landmark spot of chennai.

    A very nice place. It is quiet, well maintained, and beautiful place. The book store has nice collection of books on Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna, and Mother Sarada. Worth going if one is in Chennai and need some quiet and peaceful place. I would recommend Vivekananda house and Ramkrishna Math, both places.

  • 5/5 Deva V. 2 years ago on Google • 62 reviews
    It is a serene place that calms me down. The architecture is marvellous. The management undertakes renovation work periodically. There are several species of plants around the universal temple. This place is a cultural landmark dedicated to Ramakrishna Paramhansa, a great spiritual guru of the nineteenth century. In addition, he was also the spiritual guru of his famous disciple Vivekananda. Other places near this math are the universal temple, meditation hall, cultural and spiritual books showroom, and more. There is a car parking facility available near the universal temple. There is a charitable dispensary and diagnostic centre near this place as well. People are not allowed to take photos inside the main temple to maintain the sanctity of the place.

  • 5/5 Balaji V. 3 months ago on Google • 122 reviews New
    Well maintained - has more than 100 years old history, strong connection with Swami Vivekananda. There is old & new complexes - even though they call it as temple, I would like to call it as meditation halls :) Mediated for some 30 minutes inside new complex, felt awesome! Has huge libary, shoes keeping facility, toilets. They allow photos to be clicked in front of the building!

    A beautiful place to visit in Chennai. People are so polite and welcoming here. You must visit and have their prasad in the afternoon. You can also visit their small books section for knowledge about the place.

    The ambience is ideal for meditation. Over a hundred years old, this place stands out for its serenity and cleanliness. The positive energy is all over. The Aarthi in the evening is a crowning glory. The floral decorations are matchless. The Math does extraordinary philanthropy without any distinction. The garden is one of the best in the city and maintained so well. A must visit in Chennai

  • 5/5 Saravana K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very peaceful place. It's really amazing to find such a calm place inside the chennai city. Most suitable place for practicing meditation. The entire place is maintained very well. You can access the library which is present inside the Math Campus. There is also a book store present inside the premises. I am visiting the Math on every New Year - KALPATHARU DAY. This Math will be flooded with devotees and the Math has made all the precautionary measures for handling such a huge mass. This place is one of my most favourite places in chennai.
