Preface

·1 min read

This is in response to a great demand for a shorter biography of Sri Ramakrishna whose
message is spreading far and wide with ever-increasing rapidity. The matter is taken mostly from the Life of Sri Ramakrishna, published by us, though other available books have been consulted and the plan is quite different. A few sayings of Sri Ramakrishna have been given towards the end of the book, so that a complete picture of the Master can be had, as far as possible, within a small compass. We hope this short volume will arouse in many readers an interest for studying the life of Sri Ramakrishna in detail.
