‘The Life of M. and Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita’, is a publication that all persons who attach importance to spiritual values, and especially those whose interest in this subject has been generated through the life and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, would welcome with utmost eagerness and warmth. For, in this age of ours, when cart-loads of books are turned out by your commercialised publishing houses – books which entertain, bore or debase, but seldom instruct and much less inspire – ‘The Life of M. and Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita’ comes as a refreshing shower on a parched desert. Sri Ramakrishna’s life has been described by Mahatma Gandhi as a life that ‘enables us to see God face to face.’ In making this precious heritage of the Master’s life available to mankind through a faithful and realistic account of an important phase of it, when the fully blossomed flower of the Master’s genius was attracting large numbers of spiritual seekers like swarms of honey-seeking bees, Mahendra Nath Gupta, under the pen name of M., has done to mankind a service of a magnitude which few other authors can equal or excel. - from the Foreword to this book.
What marked out Swami Subodhananda from the other disciples of Sri Ramakrishna was his childlike simplicity and guilelessness. Through this book readers will get a wonderful glimpse of the divine and childlike personality of this saintly and eminent disciple of the Master. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, this book contains his Life, Teachings, Reminiscences, and Letters.
Swami Nityatmananda lived in the company of Sri M. for a long time, maintained a diary and elaborated it in sixteen parts of Sri Ma Darshan. The book is also available in English under the title ‘M., the Apostle & the Evangelist.’ All the sixteen parts are available in Bengali too. It is a continuation of the Kathamrita. This work is the result of twenty years of hard and incessant work and tapasya, on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh, in the Himalayas. In this series of 16 volumes the reader is brought in close touch with the life and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna family: Thakur, Swamiji, Holy Mother, M., Swami Shivananda, Swami Abhedananda and others. And there is the elucidation acc...
ABOUT M. According to the Yugantar, one of the two pillars of Neo-Vedanta is the mighty, lionic Swami Vivekananda and the other, M., the humble, quiet, wise and illumined proclaimer singing day and night the glory of the Godman, Sri Ramakrishna. About him Sri Ramakrishna said, "With these very eyes, I saw you among the singers of Sri Chaitanya's sankirtana... You belong to the ever-perfect class... You are my own, of the same substance as father and son... You trade in the Jewellery of the Spirit... Ma! illumine him. Otherwise how will he illumine others. Except for me he knows nothing." Swami Vivekananda wrote to him, "You have hit Ramakrishna in the right point... (he) is with you evidentl...
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 published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, has brought to light some fresh findings on Sri Ramakrishna that will be extremely interesting for all his devotees and admirers.
Streams of multi-branched sadhanas found an appropriate confluence in Sri Ramakrishna and the extent and depth of his spiritual realizations beggar description. The ablest biographer may find it difficult to comprehend the evolution of the Master’s inmost self and episodes of his divine transformation. Therefore the story of his unique life is best told by himself. This book published by Advaita Ashrama (Publication House of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India) is an attempt to form an autobiography of Sri Ramakrishna from his utterances about his life.
Volume IV of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita in English. This book is a word-by-word translation of the original Bengali Edition of the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna... It contains the dialogues of the Bengali saint Ramakrishna written with almost stenographic accuracy. This edition is a different translation of the Swami Nikhilananda Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna which was published in the forties and showed the restraint of that era. All 5 volumes of the set are now available in English. This is volume 4 of the new edition. The expression woman and gold has been replaced by lust and greed or lust and gold. If you have read the Nikhilananda version, this translation will seem like a new Gospel.
‘Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita Centenary Memorial' is a Volume published in 1982 on completion of hundred years of Master Mahasay's first meeting with Sri Ramakrishna. This contains articles from prominent sadhus of Sri Ramakrishna Order and devotees on the four subjects 1. Sri Ramakrishna, 2. The Kathamrita, 3. Sri M. and 4. Sri Ma Darshan. The Volume has been, therefore, divided into four parts: 1. Sri Ramakrishna, 2. The Kathamrita, 3. Sri M. and 4. Sri Ma Darshan. Needless to say that the editors were guided into this scheme by Thakur's great dictum: 'Bhakta— Bhagavata-Bhagavan', which if we may interpret means, that God, His Word and His (genuine) Devotee are one and the same. Thus...
‘नूपुर’ नाम क्यों? माता जी (श्रीमती ईश्वरदेवी गुप्ता) कहा करतीं कि ठाकुर-वाणी का अक्षर-अक्षर है ‘नूपुर’। इन ‘नूपुरों’ की झंकार से सब पाठक ठाकुर का शुद्ध प्यार पाएँ, इस अभिलाषा से ही उन्होंने अपने गुरु महाराज के 101वें जन्म-दिन पर सन् 1994 में स्मारिका-रूप में वार्षिक पत्रिका का प्रारम्भ ‘नूपुर’ नाम से किया था। उनका विश्वास था कि ठाकुर-वाणी के पठन-श्रवण-मनन और पालन से व्यक्ति स्वयं बन जाता है माँ के चरणों का ‘नूपुर’।
