32. Do please pray for me to Vishvanātha that He may grant me strength
Victory to Ramakrishna!
BARANAGORE,
10th May, 1890.
DEAR SIR,
I could not write to you because of various distractions and a relapse of fever. Glad to learn from Abhedānanda’s letter that you are doing well. Gangādhar (Akhandānanda) has probably arrived at Varanasi by this time. King Death happens here to be casting into his jaws these days many of our friends and own people, hence I am very much taken up. Perhaps no letter for me has arrived there from Nepal. I know not how and when Vishvanātha (the Lord of Kashi) would choose to vouchsafe some rest to me. Directly the hot weather relaxes a little, I am off from this place, but I am still at a loss where to go. Do please pray for me to Vishvanātha that He may grant me strength. You are a devotee, and I beseech you with the Lord’s words coming to my mind, “Those who are the devoted ones to My devotees, are indeed considered the best of My devotees.”
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
