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.
The first meeting of Sri Ramakrishna and Narendranath Datta in 1981 was an auspicious event in the history of religion. It is hard to say when Naren actually accepted Sri Ramakrishna as his guru, but as far as the master was concerned, the spiritual relationship was established at this first meeting at Dakshineswar, when he had touched Naren, stirring him to his inner depths. From that moment he had implicit faith in the disciple and bore him a great love.. There is hardly anything more fascinating in religious annals than the coming together of Master and Disciple. The book explores the divine relationship that existed between Sri Ramakrishna and Narendranath Dutta, who, in the fullness of time, became Swami Vivekananda.. Translated from the Bengali, Ramakrishna’s Naren and Naren’s Ramakrishna was originally serialized in the January through June 1978 issues of Prabuddha Bharata.
The author associated with many of the disciples of Sri Ramakrishna and gives in this book his reminiscences. He writes,”I had the rare good fortune to sit at their feet and enjoy their holy company.”. The Swamis described:Sw. PremanandaSw. TuryanandaSw. BrahmanandaSw. ShivanandaSw. SaradanandaSw.

“Contacts between the minds of Tolstoy and Ramakrishna are parts of larger intercultural contacts which are by no means facile or free from problems and difficulties. They were contemporaries. Ramakrishna was about eight years younger than Tolstoy, but died about twenty-four years earlier. They never met, and the Russian writer did not hear about Ramakrishna in the latter’s lifetime. Tolstoy got to know about his Indian contemporary only by the end of his own long life and made occasional references to Sri Ramakrishna’s ideas of equal validity of different religions and religious universalism in his talks and conversations.”
