She acquired a great reputation as a Sanskrit Scholar. Fluent in seven languages, she translated the Bible into Marathi, her mother tongue. Deeply impressed with her knowledge and ability, Sanskrit scholars at Calcutta University conferred on her the titles of "Saraswati" and "Pandita".

In 1882, Ramabai established the Arya Mahila Samaj in Pune and other parts of western India for the cause of women's education. This led to her founding Sharada Sadan in 1889, a school which blossomed into the umbrella organization known as PANDITA RAMABAI MUKTI MISSION.

The work of Pandita Ramabai continues today as a tribute to the Savior whom she faithfully followed, Jesus Christ.
