Our next destination was scheduled to visit Ramakrishna Math Bangalore. It is an organization that was brought into existence by the Modern Age Prophet of Bengal, Sri Ramakrishna. He was a great saint of 19th century. I was excited to see this place as I have witnessed number of monasteries in my present journey of life before, but observing a Math and that of Sri Ramakrishna was simply a dynamic experience for me. The universal spiritual movement of the saint was regarded as the great contribution towards the society. The institution is working calmly for more than 100 years to regenerate the society with new lessons of humanity.
