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.
Those who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
