It examines Sri Ramakrishna and his teachings and succeeds in conveying the story of the great mystic and the deeper spirit of that story, known as the Ramakrishna legend.
Pairing legend with fact, memory with history, this volume examines the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna and conveys the true story of this great mystic, whose leaping flame of spiritual realization continues to influence the modern spiritual search.
