History

In 1906 a handful of Ramakrishna disciples took an accommodation in Ulsoor in lease for daily meetings and spiritual and religious practices. On 5 May 1906 Swami Vimalananda declared to convert the place into an Ashram, and installed the pictures of Ramakrishna, Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda there. On 17 November 1907 the Ashrama was formally inaugurated. At that time it was named Vivekananda Ashrama.
