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.
True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God. Religion does not consist in erecting temples, or building churches, or attending public worship. It is not to be found in books, or in words, or in lectures, or in organizations. Religion consists in realization. We must realize God, feel God, see God, talk to God. That is religion.
-Swami Vivekananda
