Also, just sharing my thoughts before I leave for my trip. The following quote by Mrs. Sevier seems important to me!
"Through the generosity of the Seviers, the Swami, as will be seen, established the Advaita Ashrama at Mayavati, an almost inaccessible place in the Himalayas, for the training of the disciples, both Eastern and Western, in the contemplation of the Impersonal Godhead. After Captain Sevier's death at Mayavati Mrs. Sevier lived there for fifteen years busying herself with the education of the children of the neighbouring hills. Once Miss MacLeod asked her,
'Do you not get bored?'
'I think of him,' she replied, referring to Swami Vivekananda."
