[[File:Ulsoor sv near.jpg|thumb|Swami Vivekananda statue at the centre]]
In 1906 a handful of Ramakrishna disciples took an accommodation in Ulsoor in lease for daily meetings and spiritual and religious practices. On 5 May 1906 [[Vimalananda|Swami Vimalananda]] declared to convert the place into an [[Ashram]], and installed the pictures of [[Ramakrishna]], [[Sarada Devi]], and [[Swami Vivekananda]] there. On 17 November 1907 the Ashrama was formally inaugurated. At that time it was named Vivekananda Ashrama.
