It is an almost impossible task to know, to understand the REAL Ramakrishna. The Paramhansa was gracious enough to expose his REAL Self to some who deserved..." - a quote from one of Sri Ramakrishna's closest devotees sets the tone for this profound exploration.
The author, widely regarded as an unparalleled scholar in Ramakrishna-related literature, approaches the Avatar with the precision of someone using every possible interpretive tool. His goal is not merely academic; it is deeply personal and spiritual.
A unique and compelling feature of the book is a section titled
'My Thoughts on the Father's Day', where the author argues that while biological parents play a role in our physical existence, they often fall short in guiding us toward understanding the true meaning of life. It is Spiritual Parents, like Ramakrishna, who illuminate the soul's journey. The author sees Ramakrishna as his Spiritual Father.
Many who witness Ramakrishna's divine play (leela) without true insight may misjudge him as 'mad.' Through rigorous research and innovative analysis across seven chapters, the author unveils Ramakrishna's multi-dimensional personality-one that transcends normal comprehension. His ultimate conclusion is bold and clear: it is not Ramakrishna who is mad, but rather those who fail to understand his divine reality.
