Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 > Someone who knows, please reply. The HPI message below advises of a new rail line to Belur Math " where Sri Ramakrishna lived and Swami Vivekananda founded. " Please -- are they referring to new rail line to Belur Math (which Swami Vivekananda founded) or to Dakshineswar (where Sri Ramakrishna lived) or to Baranagore Math?
