The President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has condoled the passing away of the President of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, Swami Ranganathananda.

In a condolence message to the General Secretary of the Math and Mission, Swami Smaranananada, the President has said, “I am saddened to learn about the passing away of Swami Ranganathanandaji, the Swamiji of indomitable spirit and a great spiritual leader.

Swami Ranganathanandaji was a noble soul who immersed himself into the mission of spreading the message of the Vedanta to humanity spread throughout this planet. I fondly remember my meeting with him during my visit to the Belur Math in October last year”.
