Ramakrishna As We Saw Him

A collection of forty-five reminiscences by persons who knew Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886), showing vividly how the holy man lived daily the spiritual message he taught, and how he excelled in opening a path for God into the human heart. This revised edition has new reminiscences by Swami Yogananda, Swami Subodhananda, Ramendra Sundar Bhattacharya, Narayan Chandra Ghosh, and Trailokya Nath Dev, as well as additional information in Ramlal Chattopadhyay’s chapter. These new, eyewitness accounts are not found in Sri Ramakrishna and His Divine Play or The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. Reminiscences are divided into three sections: (1)  Relatives and monastic disciples, (2) Householder disciples and devotees, and (3) Brahmo devotees and admirers.

Edited and translated by Swami Chetanananda.
