The aim of this booklet is to present a collection of his inspiring sayings which one can carry around even while traveling to introduce one to Sri Ramakrishna’s timeless wisdom.
This book contains hymns sung in the early morning while waking up the Deity in a temple. The first seven verses deal with certain incidents in Sri Ramakrishna’s life. Verses 8-10 deal with the eagerness of the devotees to have his darsan in the early morning. Verses 11 and 12 are dedicated to Sri Sarada Devi (the Holy Mother) and to Swami Vivekananda respectively. The hymn ends with a phalasruti.
All the great personages of the past, who have left an indelible mark on the trail of events in the history of mankind, become a centre around which gathers, with the passage of time, a mass of legends and myths. These, more often than not, are later assumed to be facts that cannot be verified. The historicity of many of these legends begins to be questioned then, be they related to the life of a Christ, a Buddha or a Moses. Sri Ramakrishna, the latest in the line of these Great Masters, is an exception to this historical dilemma, as he appeared just a century ago. Even today researches succeed in discovering hitherto unknown truths about him, and these can be easily verified. The author of this book has brought to light some fresh findings on Sri Ramakrishna that will be extremely interesting for all his devotees and admirers.
This book is conceptualized both on Sri Ramakrishna’s statement to Narendra (Swami Vivekananda), “He who was Rama and Krishna is now, in this body, Ramakrishna but not in your Vedantic sense”, and the uniformity of divine qualities exhibited by these incarnations. It throws light on how Sri Ramakrishna exhibited the divine qualities that are similar to His earlier manifestations as Rama and Krishna. Arranged by subject, the divine qualities are described either through exposition or through story.Illustrated throughout, the book has the feel of a children’s book, but clearly it is for young adults and mature readers. While comparing the divine qualities of Ramakrishna with those of Rama and Krishna, Dr. Subrahmanyam also highlights challenges encountered by individuals and society at large in present life, and suggests solutions through apt examples from the lives of these god-men, Rama, Krishna and Ramakrishna.
