After the Cave Temple, it was time to visit Ramkrishna Math. Was so eager to go there and about the works of Swami Vivekananda. As we entered the gate, I realized it was a beautiful campus. On the right side, in a big auditorium, a lecture was being delivered in Kannada. It seems discourse is given in English on Sundays.
After leaving the footwear in the nearby stand, we walked upto the temple. It is Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's temple. So fascinatingly quiet as compared to noise outside. People were meditating silently. I was watching the photographs on the wall.
Outside the temple we walked a few meters to find Mata Sarada Devi Rock. History says sometimes in March 1911, she sat on this rock in meditation. Beautifully maintained with flowers around.
While on our way out we spent a lot of time in the library. It is less of a library and more of a shop.
A good visit but again I do not understand the stupidity that I mentioned in my previous post. Why the heck are we paranoid about not allowing photography? Photography was prohibited at Sarada Devi Rock. I took the picture of the temple since I did not see any such board there. Gosh...My message to these folks is allow photography if you want more people to know about and visit you. Alrite an email to them :-)

Temples and Maths are always beautiful. Real lives may be different. For insights into the preachings of Vivekananda on the basis of his Complete works: www.vivekanandayb.blogspot.com. Telugu: Duurapu kond`alu nunupu ani miiree oppukunt`aaru.
I apologize for the delay in publishing this comment. It provides a different view which I do not necessarily agree with. But I am publishing it since it is not profane or abusive but an alternative thought which is always respected and encouraged.
