Ramkrishna Mission of Ghatsila, Madhupur and Barrackpore

Today I am going to tell you about the branches of Ramkrishna Mission I visited. I traveled to Ghatsila, Madhupur and Barrackpore and enjoyed the ambience of this place where religion and education meets. The setting of Ramkrishna Mission is primarily natural in all places. The compounds in these three spots are surrounded by trees. There is a prayer hall and there is a wonderful set up for education to be given at a very low cost.

I should first start with Madhupur. This is because this is the earliest I visited. I love traveling and visited this place with my mother and father. I stayed there for 2 days. The compound of the mission was surrounded by flowering plants with flowers of different colors adding charm to the place. I felt as if I have entered another world. I felt I have entered a mini botanical garden. During my stay there, I saw the prayers performed in the evening. I saw the beauty of the evening atmosphere. The fragrance of incense sticks makes the atmosphere more mystical and charming. A large number of Santals live this place. Madhupur is located in the Deoghar District of Jharkhand. The climate was wonderful. One day the Maharaj of the Ashram invited the Santals, distributed sarees, offered them lunch and then requested them to dance. This dance was a spectacular thing to see. Their song and their dance was the special attraction in the evening. This evening is something I cannot afford to forget! I feel lucky being a student of anthropology to see the Santals and enjoying their dance and music.
