While the Gospel of SriRamakrishna has become widely known and regarded, the man who actually wrote it has been, until now, virtually unknown. The author of this book, Swami Chetanananda, has explored every available historical source for information about this humble devotee-school master-recorder of the 'Gospel'. Also included are many invaluable reminiscences of persons, known and unknown, who saw and talked with 'M' during his long inspired and inspiring life.
