Far from the usual chores of the home city, away from the hassle life, I was at a high point relaxation all through my trip. Though tight scheduled with strictness in depart time for a day long excursion, yet its experience was overwhelming and out of my imaginations. Till yet explorations had been made to the temples and sightseeing areas, but then it was the time for some relief giving and mental healing zones. Yes, nothing can be more peaceful than a visit to Ramakrishna Mission Ashram Visakhapatnam, a beautifully designed place, amidst the lush greenery with its structure in pink resembling the old worshipping places of South India. It was an easy accessible place just few minutes’ walk from the Ramakrishna Beach.
The ambience was so peaceful and calm, suiting to the features of the Ashram, and driving the visitors to the world of Spiritualism. A huge prayer hall is generally filled with public for regular worships and meditation as well as spiritual rituals. Devotees are swayed with complete immersion in divine Meditation. It’s rightly been considered as a hub of rehabilitation and relieving activities. It tends to serve people being victimized by sudden calamities due to the freaks of nature or the follies of men, even the service been extended beyond borders. The methodology of relief are conducted following some key elements like indiscrimination of caste, color or creed, involvement of local people for implementations of specific programmes. Several activities that prevail in this spellbound atmosphere are functioning of a co- educational English Medium School, a Public Library offering periodicals and newspapers in a free reading room, a dispensary section especially for the cure of cerebral-palsied children and many more.
