 Twenty-sixth Monk's Conference 1, 2,& 3 November 2018

Revered elders and dear brothers,

At the very outset, 

I humbly bow down before sangharupi Sri Ramakrishna. 

My respectful pranam to Revered president Maharaj and all the elders, 

and loving namaskars to my other brother monks present here.

In the blessed names of Sri Ramakrishna the Holy Mother and Swamiji Maharaj, 

and on behalf of Belur Math,

 I extend a hearty welcome to you all to this Monk's conference of the monks of our great order. 

The very sight of this August assembly of monks not only fills us with joy but is also spiritually inspiring.

 Every monks' conference is a happy reunion of monastic brothers of our order. 

one of the pillars of this sangha is the solidarity among our brothers,

 and the monks' conference contributes immensely to fostering it. 

Also, 

the conference provides an opportunity for a profitable exchange of views on many topics Concerning our monastic life and the onward march of our Movement.

Now and then we hear a cry from both senior and younger monks that spirituality is on the wane in our order,
