Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Dear Sirs I belong to a small group who regard Sri Ramakrishna as our Guru Dev. We celebrate his birthday every year, but this is a moveable feast, depending on the position of the moon. Can anyone tell me the official date of Sri Ramakishna's birthday this year? We can't seem to make contact with the Ramakrishna Mission at Bourne End, England. With many thanks. Jai Narain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
