"This is the story of a phenomenon. I will begin by calling him simply that, rather than "holy man,""mystic,"or "saint"; all emotive words with mixed associations which may attract some readers, repel others.
"A phenomenon is always a fact, an object of experience. That is how I shall try to approach Ramakrishna . . . I only ask you to approach Ramakrishna with the same open-minded curiosity you might feel for any highly unusual human being."
India has produced many spiritual giants because of her wealth of spiritual tradition. One of the greatest was Ramakrishna (1836-1886). His life was a testament to truth, universality, love and purity.
