Editing Shivananda (section)

===Office-bearer of Ramakrishna Mission===
In 1910, he was elected vice-president of Ramakrishna Mission. Shivananda was also one of the original trustees of [[Belur Math]]. In 1917 when [[Baburam Maharaj (Swami Premananda)]] fell ill and died, his duties of managing the affairs of the Math and Mission fell on Shivananda.
In 1922, after the death of [[Swami Brahmananda]], he became the second President of Ramakrishna Math and Mission. Like Brahmananda, he stressed meditation along with his daily work. He went to [[Dhaka]] and [[Mymensingh]] in what became [[East Bengal]], and initiated many spiritual seekers.<ref name="Belurmath"/>
In 1924 and 1927 he went on two long tours to the [[South India|South]], and established the Ramakrishna Math in [[Ootakamund]] and then later in [[Mumbai|Bombay]] and [[Nagpur]]. In 1925, he went to [[Deoghar]] and opened a new building for the local chapter of Ramakrishna Mission.
