Appeal for Belur Math Fund

Dear friends,

Please accept my namaskars. I hope and pray you are keep­ing well in these dif­fi­cult times.

I am writ­ing to you with an appeal for Belur Math. Belur Math, which is our main monastery and hous­es the head­quar­ters of our world­wide monas­tic order, is entire­ly depen­dent on dona­tions from vis­i­tors. Due to the extend­ed pan­dem­ic lock­down in India, there are no vis­i­tors and no dona­tions at all. This has led to a severe finan­cial cri­sis for Belur Math. Belur Math has appealed to us for finan­cial aid.

I hes­i­tate to ask for mon­ey as a rule, and espe­cial­ly so at this dif­fi­cult time. Yet, we all have a deep emo­tion­al bond with Belur Math. It is our Guru-sthana, the holy place of our Gurus. It is the beloved cre­ation of Swa­mi Vivek­a­nanda him­self and it is where he installed the liv­ing pres­ence of Sri Rama­kri­shna. It is hal­lowed by the bless­ings of the Holy Moth­er.

Please donate what­ev­er you can, with­out hard­ship to your­self and your fam­i­lies.

May the bless­ings and pro­tec­tion of the Divine Moth­er be upon you,

with namaskars and prayers,
Swa­mi Sar­vapriyanan­da
