Kanya Kumari (Cape Comorin) — Southernmost India
Tamil Nadu, India · 1947–1948
The southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean meet — a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site and the starting point from which Sangharakshita and Satyapriya planned to walk north to the Himalayas.
Virupaksha Cave, Arunachala, Tiruvannamalai
Tamil Nadu, India · c.1948–1949
The cave on the sacred hill Arunachala — Ramana Maharshi's first dwelling — where Sangharakshita had his celebrated vision of Amitabha Buddha: a luminous red figure of such depth and clarity that he could still see it perfectly nearly twenty-five years later.
