The specific purposes of this corporation are to provide educational programs related to the ancient spiritual wisdom of India in the United States, and to provide financial support for projects in India. These especially focus on the education of girls and women through schools and ashrams associated with the Sri Sarada Math and the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission. 1. Our thirty-six Samiti members studied the universal teachings of the Holy Mother, Sri Ramakrishna, and Swami Vivekananda, and appreciated the biannual journal of Sri Sarada Math, Samvit: Knowledge that Leads to Enlightenment. Vidya Pradhan performed daily worship in the Samiti shrine whenever possible. Three in-person Samiti Satsang gatherings were held in 2025 with an average attendance of eleven members. During the fall season, the Sri Chandi was read in person with eight members in attendance. 2. Several members participated in Pravrajika Gitaprana's weekly Zoom class from Ridgely Manor on the Sri Lalita Sahasranama; Vedic chanting classes with Pravrajika Dayaprana of the Vedanta Society of Southern California; and "Ask the Sisters" with Vedanta Society Convent members. Many participated in lectures, retreats and pujas in the Vedanta Societies throughout America. Several Samiti members participate in an interactive worldwide circle of over one thousand women devotees, "Sri Maa Sarada Sadhana", via WhatsApp and coordinated by the Sri Sarada Math, Guntur. Daily postings on Holy Mother's attributes and qualities including music and chanting began from October 2024 and continue. In December, several Samiti members participated in the six part Bhagavad Gita series with live Zoom sessions with Pravrajika Divyanandapranaji in Pangot, India through the newly established Himalaya Vedanta Academy. 3. We held two Parlor talks for our members with visiting Sannyasinis. Also, Pravrajika Vedapranaji, a senior sannyasini of the Convent at the Vedanta Society of Northern California gave a daylong retreat on "Where will we find God?" 4. Our Board also met on fifteen occasions in person and via Zoom during the year. 5.The Samiti promoted the English medium journal of Sri Sarada Math, Samvit: Knowledge that Leads to Enlightenment, and added eleven new five-year subscriptions. We also distributed Samvit to subscribers throughout the United States. 0 780 Donations towards Ramakrishna Sarada Mission, Pangot Girls' Education $1,500.
