Today I have experienced the same & it's awsome #PMOIndia Praveen Nath Valsan (Twitter) If one wants to EXPERIENCE Swami Vivekananda, one should not miss this place. Earlier called the Ice house, this place has everything about Swami Vivekananda. The original photo exhibition is a treat to the eyes and takes you back in time. The 3D movie of Swamiji at the World Religious conference, Chicago brings goose bumps. It is one thing to see movies and photos and the other is experiencing the great soul himself as he lived in this place for 10 days. The room he meditated makes you feel at peace and feel his presence too. I suggest everyone both within Chennai and especially for those from outside to visit and understand the greatness of Swamiji. - Ram Ganesan, Chennai, India (from TripAdvisor) A must visit historic building, with significant historical ties to Swami Vivekananda’s life. Center gives a glimpse of the history of Indian culture, makes you realize how great our history and country has been. I hope the work of this Math will fulfill the dreams of Swami Vivekananda, some day! - Kumar, London, UK (from TripAdvisor) Visit us Vivekananda House Kamarajar salai (Marina beach road) Triplicane Chennai 600005, India [email protected] +91 44 28446188 Timings 10.00 am – 12:30 pm 3.00 pm –7:15 pm (On Sundays extended upto 7:30 pm Closed on Mondays Our sites Sri Ramakrishna Math Chennai Ramakrishna Math iStore Ramakrishna Math Donations Ramakrishna Math Media Gallery Vedanta eBook Store Vivekananda Cultural Centre Girl’s Hr.
