Victory to God!
BARANAGORE,
4th Feb., 1889.
DEAR SIR,
For some reason I had been feeling today agitated and cramped in my mind, when your letter of invitation to the heavenly city of Varanasi reached me. I accept it as the call of Vishveshvara [1] . I am going now on a pilgrimage to the place of my Master’s nativity, and after a sojourn of a few days there, I shall present myself to you. He must be made of stone whose mind does not melt at the sight of Kashi and its Lord! I feel now much improved in health. My regards to Jnānānanda. I am coming as soon as I can. It all depends ultimately on Vishveshvara’s will. … More when we meet.
ⓘ[1] The Lord of the Universe, or Shiva, as installed in the leading temple of Varanasi or Kashi.
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
