The hymns included in this book are all the inspired compositions of the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna and are sung during or immediately after the rites connected with the Aratrika in all the centres of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission. These are the fervent outpourings of the Apostles of the Great Master who in their own lives had experienced “the touch of the One in the play of the many.” Ramanam is a liturgical composition expounding the glory of Sri Rama through a series of names that suggestively highlight the main incidents in the life-story of this Divine Incarnation.This book contains a lucid and faithful English translation of the texts to enable the reader to absorb better the spirit of these hymns. A transliteration of the texts in Roman script is also included to help those who are not very familiar with the Devanagari script.
Swami Vivekananda was the foremost among the disciples of Sri Ramakrishna, and what he said about his Master is therefore of great importance. Swami Vivekananda’s memories and reflections of his teacher are scattered throughout the nine volumes of The Complete Works (8175054115), but the need to present these thoughts in one concise source was strongly felt. Hence this compact, but valuable book.
“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.”
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.
