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.
It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion -- the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing, but to get the higher.
-Swami Vivekananda
