Religion creates dissension between people. Truth is one. Man interprets it in different ways. Real uniqueness lies in discovering unity in diversity. Sri Ramakrishna alone on earth practised all religions on himself. Then he arrived at a conclusion that all religions have a fundamental unified truth. It was Sri Ramakrishna who pronounced a death knell for all divisions in religion. Ramakrishna is indeed our saviour. The Hindus venerate Him as an incarnation of God. Whatever may be our ways of venerating Him, He ushered in a new epoch for the whole humanity.
