Was wondering if anyone has had any experiences that they would share in regards to the mission in India. I am planning a visit, perhaps in January 2011 and would like to know what generally to expect. I feel especially drawn to Sri Ramakrishna after reading many of his works including his "Gospel". I would like to stay in one of the ashrams and offer my seva to the swamis there. I have been to India several times but never to an ashram - only to temples. Have visited other sites but humbly ask that members of this forum contribute what they can if possible.

Om Namah Sivaya!
