Pravrajika Mokshaprana, born Renuka Basu (9 December 1915 – 30 August 1999), was the second President of the Sri Sarada Math and the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission. In Hinduism, Sri Sarada Math is the monastic Order for women established as an independent counterpart to the Ramakrishna Order.
During a 26-year career of spiritual ministration, she initiated thousands of people.[1] Before she became President of the Sri Sarada Math, she was headmistress of Sister Nivedita's Girls' School from 1946 to 1948, part of a life-long interest in women's education, as envisaged by Swami Vivekananda.[2]
After Sri Sarada Math and the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission were established, Pravrajika Mokshaprana became the Vice President and the Secretary and Headmistress of Shiksha Mandir, a branch centre of the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission at Baruipara in Kolkata.[2] Under Pravrajika Mokshaprana's presidency, the Sri Sarada Math and the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission continued the expansion which had started in the time of Pravrajika Bharatiprana, with new centres opened across India. As President, Mokshaprana visited all the branch centres in India.[2]
