THE WANDERING MONK MUSEUM
Museums
Read moreThis exciting museum retraces the early years of Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna's disciple who participated in the rebirth of Hinduism and tried to reconcile aspirations for social justice with spirituality. He travelled through India as a sanyasin (a stray monk, begging for his food) and came to meditate in Kanyakumari in 1892. Several times a year, the centre organizes yoga classes and spiritual retreats, lasting one or two weeks.
