Holiness in Kolkata

A hazy sunrise across the Ganga from Belur Math, with the Jute Mill whose siren is mentioned in The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.	One of Kolkata's street cleaners.	Swami Satyananda pondering a depiction of a modern "Universal Form".
After a visit to the Kalighat Kali Temple, temple priests, visitors, and street urchins pose for the camera.	Dipak Gupta, the great grandson of Mahendranath Gupta, the "M" of the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.	The home shrine at M's ancestral home, which was consecrated by Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi herself, where worship has continued without ceasing since.
The Cossipore garden house, where Sri Ramakrishna's mahasamadhi occured.	The Shrines at the burning ghat on the Ganga where Sri Ramakrishna and other of his disciples were cremated.	The past and present merge in modern Kolkata.
