Swami Vishuddhananda, the eighth President of the Ramakrishna Order, was born on Wednesday, 13 June 1883 at Gurap village in Hooghly district of West Bengal. His pre-monastic name was Jitendranath Singha Roy. 

At Dakshineshwar, he came to know about the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi. He went to Jayrambati, along with two of his friends, Khagen (Swami Shantananda) and Girija (Swami Girijananda) to meet her and pay homage. They were initiated by the Holy Mother on 16 December 1906, at Jayrambati. Thereafter as they felt an urge to renounce the worldly life, they took ochre robe of monks from the Holy Mother. 

At the time of sending Swami Vishuddhananda to the Chennai Math as a monastic worker, Swami Brahmananda conveyed his impression regarding him through a remark, “I am sending you a person who knows nothing but God”. 

In 1947, Swami Vishuddhananda became a Vice President of the Order and stayed at his favourite place, Varanasi. After the passing away of Swami Shankarananda, he took up the onus of Presidentship on 6 March 1962.

Swami Vishuddhananda was very loving by nature. His motherly affection, compassion and sympathetic understanding of others’ problem made him dear to his devotees. He used to speak to people untiringly on spiritual matters. He inspired many to strive for realizing God.
