DID YOU KNOW: Swami Vivekananda visited Dehradun twice

Swami Vivekananda came to Dehradun for the first time in 189o. He stayed at Baori Temple on Dehradun Mussorie road on his way to meet his guru bhai Swami Turiyananda. Swami Turiyananda meditated in this place for 48 days. Swami Vivekananda came to Dehradun again in the year 1897. In those times, Baori mandir used to be a stop over for the monks and itinerants during their travel to Gangotri and Yamunotri. The room where swamiji stayed is still there under the maintenance of Ramakrishna Mission.
