Devotees on a pilgrimage to Belur Math and other places associated with Sri Ramakrishna, Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda often look for a reliable guidebook to make their pilgrimage fruitful. This book attempts to fulfill this need.Appendices at the end of the book provide additional information like distances between various places, list of books to be read before undertaking the pilgrimage, and contact addresses of various pilgrim centres.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
