A devotee once asked Sri Ramana Maharshi, "Is there any psychic effect in visiting sacred places like Mt. Kailash, Benaras, etc.?"
"Yes"
"Is there any benefit accruing by dying in Benaras?"
"Yes. The meaning will be clear if the real Benaras and real dying are understood."
The devotee was silent in front of Silence.
The above conversation is mentioned in the book Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi. There are many other Maharshi's books made available for downloads here.
The same theme is touched in Raja Rao's On the Ganga Ghat, and is elaborated and extended to many other related areas by Osho in Hidden Mysteries, which is available for online reading in this website.
