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. (The Lord of the Universe, or
Shiva, as installed in the leading temple of Varanasi or Kashi.) 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 sigh of Kashi and its Lord! I feel
now much improved in health. My regards to Jnanananda. I am coming as soon
as I can. It all depends ultimately on Vishveshvara's will . . . . More when
we meet.
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
