Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful Shrine to Ramakrishna

Mar 2023 • Couples

Beautiful Shrine to Ramakrishna & monastery for Ramakrishna monks. This structure is surrounded by nicely landscaped grounds area that is peaceful and quiet. While the exterior of the building is beautiful to photograph, no photos are allowed inside. We walked all around the gardens area surrounding the Math building to enjoy the serene atmosphere of this area.

A Peaceful place

June 2018 • Family

Sri Ramakrishna Math is a peaceful place to meditate and to get a peaceful mind. The place so beautiful and maintained well. One should visit this place once in their lifetime and to know about Sri Ramakrishna.

Chennai Chilled

Jan 2018 • Couples

If you would like to experience a different side to Chennai, this is a great place to visit. The gardens are peaceful and serene and it has a very welcoming atmosphere. This is really a very different experience from the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, much more laid back and chilled. Would definitely recommend a visit here to anyone passing through Chennai!!

Kind open-hearted meditation

Nov 2017 • Friends

Went to the morning meditation. Heard it starts at 4:30. Loved how they welcome everyone there. The interior was so serene and beautiful and the rituals they were performing took my meditation into it's present moment. The chanting and bells were surprising and splendid. Wish I could go every morning. ❤️

Serene Place

Feb 2022

Located in Mylapore, this is a very peaceful and serene place. It is quiet and very well maintained. There is a bookshop, a meditation hall and a universal temple. Parking is available. Definitely worth visiting

Beautiful architecture, peaceful spot

July 2019 • Friends

This is a quiet revelation in overheated and crowded Chennai. A lovely meditation room, a bookstore, and delightful landscaping. A perfect place to take a break but also near the train and shopping.

Peaceful place

Sept 2018

A very nice place. It is quiet, well maintained, and beautiful place. The book store has nice collection of books on Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna, and Mother Sarada. Worth going if one is in Chennai and need some quiet and peaceful place. I would recommend Vivekananda house and Ramkrishna Math, both places.
