The Mission was established in the year 1948 at Bhowanipore (54, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Road, Bhowanipore, Calcutta-700 026, West Bengal, India). The Association took its form around Sri Srimat Swami Bigyanananda Maharaj (1912-1967) [১৩১৮-১৩৭৪ সন]. It was formed in the year 1973 and duly registered in the year 1980.
Bigyanananda Mission is a spiritual monastery where people of different creed, caste, gender, nationality come for their own eternal happiness. People from all walks of life, Raja (The King), industrialist, workers, students, judges, lawyers, office employees and those who live on streets came to Bhowanipore – for their needs and happiness and internal peace. Bhowanipore Math & Bigyanananda Mission is a Holy Monastery for all.
Here we worship Goddess Durga (Durga Puja), Goddess Kali (Kali Puja), Goddess Ratanti Kali (Ratanti Kali Puja), and Narayana / Srikrishna (Narayan Puja).
The devotees and attendants of the Mission are pursuing the Path displayed by Thakur Sri Srimat Swami Bigyanananda Maharaj.

The incarnation took place very secretly surreptitiously this time to teach us the way to free ourselves from all kinds of involvements. He taught us how to become self-sacrificing. He told us how to see the absolute Truth (God). Whenever one visits the mission his mind gets rejuvenated with the spiritual blessing of God & finally they realize the spiritual upliftment is necessary for the enlightenment of our inner self. It is to be noted that all the devotees come here after fulfilling their commitments to their profession and family.
The Mission is open every day but there is no fixed time. Different people come here every Saturday and Sunday, believer, non- believer, curious, peace seekers. Everybody gets Prasad (The grace of God) and finally exits with happiness.
There is no system of accepting monetary donations/ contributions except on the birth anniversary of Sri Sri Srimat Bigyanananda Maharaj.
