History

Before the publication of Udbodhan, the Brahmavadin and Prabuddha Bharata were being published from Madras under Vivekananda's inspiration, but these were not the official journals of the Ramakrishna Order. It was only later that the Prabuddha Bharata was taken over by Ramakrishna Mission and published first from Almora, then from Mayavati, and now from Kolkata.

The construction of the present building was started by Saradananda, the then editor, in 1907, subsequently, the magazine shifted to the ground floor of the building while Sarada Devi, wife of Ramakrishna lived on upper floor {{cite book |title=Sri Rámakrishna Tirthas: Confluence Of Devotion And Service |volume=1|author=Bimala Candra Datta|publisher=Rámakrishna Vivekánanda Institute of Research & Culture |year=1980|page=72 |ol=14695497M}}
