All these philanthropic activities are based on the principles of spirituality and practical Vedanta as taught by the Holy Trio Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda. Currently, the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission, New Delhi is running seven welfare projects for underprivileged women and children.
