[Guest guest]

The character of the father and the mother of my Master was very

much like that. Very poor they were and yet many a time the mother

would starve herself a whole day to help a poor man. Of them this

child was born; and he was a peculiar child from very boyhood. He

remembered his past from his birth and was conscious for what purpose

he came into the world, and every power was devoted to the

fulfillment of that purpose.

CONVERSATIONS WITH SRI RAMAKRISHNA

 

A new, complete, word-for-word translation from Bengali of M's Gospel

Sri, Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita

 

By Sachindra Kumar Majumdar

 

Now you can read the words of Sri Ramakrishna as M.

(Mahendranath Gupta) recorded them in his diaries from 1882 through

1886. Conversations with Sri Ramakrishna is a word-for-word

translation into English of

Ramakrishna's conversations as they occurred. The translation was written

out in longhand virtually without erasure or correction and appears in

exact form as the translator, Sachindra Kumar Majumdar , took it off the

pages of M.'s five volumes published in Bengali. No attempt has been made

to polish or edit Ramakrishna's words. Nothing has been added, nothing

taken away in approximately 1,400 pages of text.

 

The translator, Sachindra Kumar Majumdar (1909-1999), was a

disciple of Swami Shivananda, the second head of the Ramakrishna

Monastic Order. As a young man in Bengal, Mr. Majumdar met M. and

soon began experimenting with the translation of Kathamrita into

English. The wish to provide an exact and complete rendering of the

original script in a manner that would have satisfied M. became

almost a life-long challenge for Mr. Majumdar and culminated in this

translation when he was in his eighties. Mr. Majumdar was an

independent pioneer in the teaching of yoga practices and Vedanta

philosophy in the West. For many years in addition to teaching

classes and private students, he was a faculty member of the New

School for Social Research in New York City.
