Rameshwaram and Kanyakumari are two of the most well-known pilgrimage centres in south India. For centruries, they have been sources of inspiration to countless pilgrims. This book is a travelogue to these two places of pilgrimage with their legends and the religious and historical significance.
That which is nearest is least observed. The Atman is the nearest of the near, therefore a careless and unsteady mind gets no clue to the Atman. But one who is alert, calm, self-restrained, and discriminating, ignores the external world and, diving more and more into the inner world, realizes the glory of the Atman and becomes great.
-Swami Vivekananda
