Belur Math and Dakshineshwar

topic posted Wed, December 20, 2006 - 8:06 AM by  offlineJamie
i was just in calcutta a couple months ago and went to both and wanted to start a discussion about how beautiful they are.. having lunch and prasad and wandering around the grounds/exploring all the little shrines and temples at Belur Math, meditating in the temple, seeing Vivekananda's old room and then taking a sunset boat ride (tut tut tut tut tut) across the Houghly to Dakshineshwar where you're shuffled through the queue to have Kali's Darshan .. seeing the Radha Krishna shrine and all the Shiva Lingams and then going and sitting down in Ramakrishna's room and being transported into the past and absorbed in the beautiful energy that after so many years still permeates the space.. ohh and seeing just how small the nahabat is and being amazed at how Sarada Devi could live and sleep and cook and do all the things she did in there.. it was definately one of the highlights of my trip around india.. anyone else have any experiences they want to share?
