Bengal Trip: On Ramakrishna’s Path
The rainy season was nearing its end, and a restless longing stirred within me—I needed to go somewhere. As fate would have it, my uncle, a senior litterateur, invited me to accompany him to Kolkata for a Literature Festival. This journey soon transformed into a pilgrimage to Kamarpukur and Jayrambati, the birthplace of Ramakrishna Paramhans. With my wife and son joining, we embarked on a trip that blended literary exploration with spiritual discovery. From the vibrant artistry of Purulia Chhau masks at Kolkata Airport to the historical depth of Salt Lake City, every moment was steeped in cultural significance.
