Buddha, Christ et al?

[Guest guest]

I have recently finished reading Swami Abhedananda's translation of the

Kathamrita/Gospel published under the title of " Ramakrishna Kathamrita and

Ramakrishna " . The Swami also adds some reminiscences of his own, such as that

on p.252 under the heading of 'Meaning of his illness' where he states that

he and (the later) Swami Ramakrishnananda were present with Sri Ramakrishna

when the Master said " He who was Rama, who was Krishna, Buddha, Christ and

Chaitanya, has now become Ramakrishna. Blessed are those who know this

truth. "

 

Of course, it is well-known that Ramakrishna revealed himself openly as

Chaitanya and also to Vivekananda as having been both Rama and Krishna, but I

am not aware of any other reference by Ramakrishna himself, or indeed any

other testimony (other than the supposition that certain of his inner circle

had been disciples of Christ, which in turn implies something about

Ramakrishna himself), that he had also been both Buddha and Christ.

 

Are list members aware of any other references to this in the literature

available?

 

God bless,

Hello,

 

I do not know any reference to Buddha. But there is a place

where Sri Ramakrishna hints to M that he was Jesus. There are

two sisters who have invited Sri Ramakrishna to their house.

One of them complains to Sri Ramakrishna that her sister had

taken a bigger share of service. M reminds Sri Ramakrishna

that there is a similar incident in the life of Christ when

He visits Martha and Mary. Sri Ramakrishna says some very

puzzling words (I do not remember exactly). Then He asks M

what does he understand. M says that Sri Ramakrishna and

Christ are the same. Sri Ramakrishna feels happy that M has

understood.

 

The above incident is there in the Gospel.

 

With regards,

Gomu.
