The great spiritual masters of India, by their superhuman efforts, have time and again revived and developed the philosophical and religious values that India has always stood for. In no other literature in the world have these values been so beautifully and exhaustively dealt with as in the sacred books of India. One of the most significant activities of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission is its Publication wing.
