Book excerpt: Since the publication of Sri Ramakrishna's first biography, readers have been familiar with the awesome figure of a spiritual personality who established a direct liason with the divine and preached the most enlightened religious eclecticism in simple vernacular. All subsequent studies on the paramahamsa have been predicated on the monastic Vedantic interpretation of his career and character.This study is a pioneering attempt to uncover the human face behind the mask of the Paramahamsa. Using rare Bengali sources, it is an entirely new look at the saint. In his search for the historical and human figure, the author reexamines the saint's life and thought, and delves into his childhood experiences presenting him as a simple, gregarious, semiliterate rustic with a complex sexual dilemma and spiritual hunger who sought a solution to his troubled psyche in an eclectic piety of faith and fun.

Book excerpt: While Ramakrishna Paramhamsa has been the subject of innumerable volumes devoted to his life and teachings over the past century and a half, Ramakrishna Paramhamsa: The Sadhaka of Dakshineswar illuminates this enigmatic religious figure and stands out amidst the multitude of voices that crowd his story. It traces the several contradictions of nineteenth-century Bengal that the man embodied: between his Vaishnav roots and Sakti worship; between bhakti and gyan; and between a guru and sadhaka (spiritual practitioner). Amiya P. Sen situates Sri Ramakrishna within the emerging social and cultural anxieties of the time as also the larger Hindu-Brahminical world that he was born into. This book also carries a brief but critical introduction to the moral and philosophical underpinnings of Ramakrishna’s vibrant theology that will be of interest to lay readers as well as those especially interested in the cultural and religious history of modern Bengal.

Download or read book Sayings of Ramakrishna Paramahansa written by Ramakrishna Paramahansa and published by SHARDA PRAKASHAN. This book was released on with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramakrishna was a great Hindu saint, mystic and bhakta. Through his life and teachings he made people realise that God alone is real and all else false, an illusion. His whole life was religion in practice. His devotion to God was complete and unique. His life has been an object lesson in piety, devotion to God, self-realization and the ideals and values of Hinduism. Ramakrishna was born in a religious Brahmin family of Chatterjees or Chattopadhyaya in Bengal at the village Karmapukur in the Hooghly district. Khudiram was his father and Chandramani his mother. They were simple, religious, God-fearing and honest and devoted to Lord Rama. Besides Ramakrishna, they had four other children. They were blessed with the birth of Ramakrishna on February 17,1836. Before that Chandramani, the mother of Ramakrishna had my divine visions and dreams about the coming child. Khudiram too had a vision about Rama Krishna’s spiritual greatness and attainments. They boy was named Gadadhara, meaning the mace-bearer. Many supernatural things happened after the birth of Gadadhara, for example, Chandramani sometimes found the baby too heavy to carry and other times too light like a handful of flowers. At school he took no interest in studies. He found great interest in the epics, religious stories and biographies of great saints. When he grew older, he would often go into deep meditation leading to a state of trance. His father died in 1843. It brought a marked change in boy Gadadhara and he began to enjoy more and more the company of holy persons and sadhus. This association with monks etc. made his practice more and more of meditation. By then he was nine years old and invested with a holy thread. When he was 17 years old, he joined his elder brother Ramkumar in Kolkata where he kept a teaching Toll besides officiated as a family priest. Ramakrishna was given the duties of priest which he performed quite satisfactorily. His piety, devotion, honesty and purity of heart impressed everyone. Later Ramakrishna was appointed the permanent priest of the famous Dakshineshwar Kali temple. It is here at Dakshineshwar that Ramakrishna practiced asceticism, deep meditation, reciting the thousand names of God. Consequently, he began to have visions of the Divine Mother Kali. Gradually this realization depend and he began to have long spells of divine intoxication. With it his sadhana grew more and more intense. Ramkrishna was married to Sardamani Devi at the age of 23 in spite of his total indifference to all worldly affairs. This he did to please and comfort his old mother. His wife also then became a valuable partner in his severe austerities, sadhana and meditations. He often suffered from divine madness and had prolonged spiritual fits which ultimately led him to God-realization. He always looked upon his wife Sarda Devi as the visible representation of the Divine Mother. Later Ramakrishna realized God through other major religious practices, sadhanas and prayers including Christianity and Islam. He heard with great interest the life-story of Jesus Christ and then followed his teachings practically. His reverence for Buddha was no less. He regarded him as an incarnation of God. His deep thirst of God-realization in all his aspects and manifestations led him to the practice of Islam. In this practice also he had ecstatic visions and spiritual realizations. He firmly believed that God is one and common to all religions. He put this faith into practice and had God- realization through all these methods and practices. Ramakrishna had many great and distinguished disciples but Vivekanand was most prominent of these. His original name was Narendra Nath. His deep religious disposition led him to the temple of Dakshineshwar where he became a devotee and disciple of Ramakrishna after many severe tests and trials of his guru. Ramakrishna’s genuine spiritual greatness and God-realization revolutionized Narendra’s mind and ultimately he renounced the world. Initially Vivekananda argued much with Ramakrishna against image-worship, rituals and sadhana and wanted a direct proof about the existence of God, but gradually, he realized Ramakrishna’s true greatness and began himself to have visions and trances in meditation. His close and affectionate association with Ramakrishna totally changed his life and he himself became a great spiritual teacher, guide and guru. Vivekanand created Ramakrishna Mission in association with his fellow-disciples and monks. Ramakrishna was contemporary of Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee. When he met them, they were deeply influenced and impressed by his extraordinary spiritual personality. He had many notable and well-known devotees who felt highly privileged to spend a few hours in his divine company listening his teachings and sermons which were often so simple, full of sayings, epigrams, anecdotes and in the form of dialogues. Girish Chandra Ghose and Keshab Chandra Sen were among these fortunate devotees. During the last few years of his life, Ramakrishna suffered from acute throat trouble which was diagnosed as “Clergyman’s sore throat.” It gradually aggravated and developed into a cancer. He died and entered Mahasamadhi on 16th of August, 1886.
Download or read book Christopher and His Kind written by Christopher Isherwood and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable memoir by one of the most prominent writers of his generation Originally published in 1976, Christopher and His Kind covers the most memorable ten years in the writer's life—from 1928, when Christopher Isherwood left England to spend a week in Berlin and decided to stay there indefinitely, to 1939, when he arrived in America. His friends and colleagues during this time included W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, and E. M. Forster, as well as colorful figures he met in Germany and later fictionalized in his two Berlin novels—and who appeared again, fictionalized to an even greater degree, in I Am a Camera and Cabaret. What most impressed the first readers of this memoir, however, was the candor with which he describes his life in gay Berlin of the 1930s and his struggles to save his companion, a German man named Heinz, from the Nazis. An engrossing and dramatic story and a fascinating glimpse into a little-known world, Christopher and His Kind remains one of Isherwood's greatest achievements.
