Swami Brahmananda became the President of Ramakrishna Order on 13-01-1901

One morning at Belur Math, these rules of the Ramakrishna Order were read aloud in Swami Brahmananda’s room. The revered Swami was seated on his small cot absorbed in deep meditation. Swami Shuddhananda was the reader. When the reading was over, Brahmananda said: ‘Swamiji did not utter these rules from the physical plane; he raised his mind to a higher realm and then gave dictation and Tarak-Da wrote them down. He delineated them with a view to spreading the ideas and ideals of Sri Ramakrishna and for the good of humanity. Everyone, whether man or woman, rich or poor, high or low, has an equal right to the spiritual heritage and service of Sri Ramakrishna. Blessed is he who serves the Master and follows his teachings.! Accept those instructions of Swamiji with candid faith; practice them in your lives and spread them in all directions. As a result, you will see that the evil influence of the Dark Age will diminish and the Golden Age will come in sight.’ When asked to make some rules for the young monks, he replied: “Swamiji has already made the rules for us. We do not need to add any new ones. Add more love, attain more devotion, and help others to move towards the ideal of God.”
