Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 Encyclopedia Britannica Dear sir, It tastes bitter and puts the esteemed Encyclopedia Britannica in a very poor taste when we boot up the Ramakrishna Page of the Encyclopedia Britannica online at http://search.britannica.com/search?miid=1 227238 & query=Ramakrishna and see that Kali's Child (whose thesis is that Ramakrishna was homosexual) is the first book recommended and also the fourth book recommended. Narasingha Sil's appalling book Ramakrishna Revisited is number two. While we find these two books offensive, we nevertheless are not requesting that they be stricken from their list. What we would like is a representative list of the books concerning Sri Ramakrishna. Naturally we would hope that they would include the basic source books concerning Sri Ramakrishna: 1) The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, 2) Ramakrishna: The Great Master, 3) The Life of Sri Ramakrishna along with more contemporary books such as 4) Christopher Isherwood's Ramakrishna and His Disciples and 5) Richard Schiffman's Sri Ramakrishna: Prophet for the New Age. We hope you would consider and make the necessary changes at the earliest. This has become urgently necessary for the contents of these books falsify the truthful and pure life of a great universal sage. dr c s shah dr Madhuri Shah Shantanu Shah Sheetal Shah and many others.
