Ramakrishna Ashram, Colombo

Colombo, Sri Lanka · 1944–1945

As a nineteen-year-old British soldier, Sangharakshita made his way to the Colombo Ramakrishna ashram and spent seven months imbibing 'something of the spirit of Indian culture and something of their own enthusiasm for the spiritual life' — an encounter that shaped everything that followed.
