VIVEKANANDA KENDRA KANYAKUMARI

spiritually oriented service organisation
Mananeeya Eknathji Ranade, the force behind

Vivekananda Rock Memorial, did not stop after the completion
of the monument in granite. He strongly felt that Swami Vivekananda’s life
giving messages are to be spread throughout the country. Therefore he
decided to build a monument in flesh
and blood. So was formed
Vivekananda Kendra – a cadre based service organization of totally

dedicated young men and women of India, trained and deployed to take up
service activities especially in the economically backward and janjati
areas of the country. It was the dream of Swami Vivekananda coming true.

All the service activities of Vivekananda Kendra are centered on the
thought – ‘Service to Man is Worship of God’.

All the workers are guided by the National Ideal – ‘Service and
Renunciation’ and are working throughout the country with the twin
ideal of “Man Making Nation Building”.
