In accordance with the ideals of the Ramakrishna Order, the women monastics live a quiet routine of meditation, scriptural study, ritual worship, and selfless service.

Our activities include conducting the daily services in our temples; giving scriptural classes and lectures; holding spiritual retreats; participating in interfaith meetings and events; writing and editing religious publications; and working in various book and publication departments.
