Kala Babu's Kunj

1. Appeal For Kala Babu Kunj

2. Report on the Progress at Kala Babu's Kunj

Vrindaban, the holy divine play land of Sri Krishna, the very name of the place fills one with devotion of highest order. The land has been further hallowed by the visits of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Ramakrishna Dev, Sri Sri Maa Sarada Devi and the spiritual practices of saints like Sri Rupa Goswami, Sri Sanatana Goswami, Mirabai and Sant Haridas.

Kala Babu Kunj is the ancestral house of Sri Balaram Basu, an ardent devotee of Sri Ramakrishna. After the Mahasamadhi of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi visited Vrindaban towards the end of 1886 and stayed in this house for almost a year. In her later visits too, she stayed in this place where she gave her first initiation to Swami Yogananda. In 1907, the Ramakrishna Mission started its Vrindaban centre from - Kala Babu Kunj, with a Homoeopathic Dispensary.

As you may be aware from our appeal of our efforts for purchasing a portion of Kala Babu Kunj and renovate and restore the building so that monks and devotees can stay and benefit from the spiritual atmosphere. We have succeeded in this effort to a certain extent with the donations received from devotees and other sources. The funds received so far is not sufficient for completing the project. We are currently in the process of clearing the area so that the construction work can begin. A museum, Charitable dispensary, Library, Sadhu and Devotees accommodation etc. have been planned at this place. However to meet this objective of renovation and construction of a suitable memorial we are in need of at least Rupees One Crore.

We earnestly request all of you to donate generously for this sacred cause. Cheques/Drafts may please be sent in the name of "Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama, Vrindaban". All donations are exempt under section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Yours in Sri Ramakrishna,

Swami Suprakashananda
