Sri Ramakrishna: An Introduction

SRI RAMAKRISHNA [18 February1836 – 16 August 1886]

We present here the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, the saint who lived in Calcutta - India, in the mid-19th century.

In the words of Swami Adiswarananda (Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York), Sri Ramakrishna represents the very core of the spiritual realizations of the seers and sages of India. His whole life was literally an uninterrupted contemplation of God. He reached a depth of God-consciousness that transcends all time and place and has a universal appeal.

The ultimate choice to read and understand the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna will be “The GOSPEL of SRI RAMAKRISHNA” published by Ramakrishna Math, Madras, India. However, for a first-time reader, to get a glimpse of the teachings, to get a taste of the feast, we present the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna in 8 parts, each part comprising 50 messages, with the hope that there is enough time to read the messages and also assimilate them thoroughly.
