On his way to Chennai from Kanyakumari, Swami Vivekananda stopped in Puducherry for a few days in 1893. That sacred memory is being maintained by Ramakrishna Seva Sangam, Puducherry. To bring the grace of Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda and to continue preserving the connection between Swami Vivekananda and Puducherry, the Ramakrishna Seva Sangam decided to invite Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission to Puducherry.
