After establishing the new monastic order, Vivekananda heard the inner call for a greater mission in his life. While most of
the followers of Sri Ramakrishna thought of him in relation to their
own personal lives, Vivekananda thought of the Master in relation to
India and the rest of the world. As the prophet of the present age,
what was Sri Ramakrishna’s message to the modern world and to India in
particular? This question and the awareness of his own inherent powers
urged Swamiji to go out alone into the wide world. So in the middle of
1890, after receiving the blessings of Sri Sarada Devi, the divine
consort of Sri Ramakrishna, known to the world as Holy Mother, who was
then staying in Kolkata, Swamiji left Baranagar Math and embarked on a
long journey of exploration and discovery of India.
