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 Abhedananda's letter that you are doing well.
Gangadhar (Akhandananda) 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 Vishvanâtha (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 Vishvanatha 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.
