The Original Gospel of Ramakrishna

This original version of The Gospel of Ramakrishna is based on the author M.’s own English translation from the Bengali. A classic but until recently neglected work, it is presented here in an edited form for the contemporary reader. It is introduced with a comprehensive biography of Shri Ramakrishna (1836-1886), written by his most famous disciple, Swami Vivekananda. Also included are several b/w photographs of Ramakrishna and his disciples. “The story of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa’s life is a story of religion in practice. His life enables us to see God face to face.... His sayings are not those of a mere learned man but they are pages from the Book of Life.... They, therefore, leave on the reader an impression which he cannot resist.” MAHATMA GANDHI
