I recently came to know that, every year, RK Mutt, during the celebration of Ramakrishnar, Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda's birthdays, give 40% discount in their book store. Realized, just missed Swami Vivekananda's birthday on 12 Jan.
18th Feb is Sri Ramakrishna's 175 birthday and hope they hae this discount on that day too....
Ramakrishna Mutt does not follow English Calendar. It celebrates and gives Discount only on the birth star/Thithi which falls on the hindu calendar like Rama Navami and Janmasthami. The date will vary year to year. You can check for the dates in www.chennaimath.org
So Jan 12 you will not find celebrations in Ramakirshna Mutt. 40% discount is given even on Kalpataru day which is 1st Jan which is holy day due to an incident in Sri Ramakrishna's History. And on the day
