Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Dear Chellamani, Gospel or Kathamrita is the recording of Sri Mahendranath Gupta when he met Thakur on a regular basis. Even though it is exhaustive, it does not describe the life and spiritual struggle of Thakur. For that, I would recommend reading " RAMAKRISHNA, THE GREAT MASTER " by Swami Saradananda. It beautifully and fully explains the pains taken by Thakur in his spiritual struggles. If the group knows any other books, please post it. Regards, Prasad.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Namaste I have read " Ramakrishna and his disciples " by Christopher Isherwood, it covered lot of details about Shree Ramkrishna's early life and spritual struggles. It is a very good book. regards Manish Ramakrishna , " pratapaprasad " <pratapaprasad@y.. ..> wrote: > Dear Chellamani, > Gospel or Kathamrita is the recording of Sri Mahendranath Gupta > when he met Thakur on a regular basis.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2003 Report Share Posted June 20, 2003 Madam , We all have more or less followed Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita .. in which we come accross various incidents of Sri Sri Thakur's life . In addition to that we may read Sri Sri ramakrishna Lilaprasanga by Swami Saradananda ,the doorman of Sri Sri Ma where we would find more and more events of the divine life in question . Nirmalendu. --- gayatri chellamani <gayat52 wrote: > dear all, > > we come across a very detailed account of events, > sayings, incidents, etc. in thakur's life from > various > sources such as kathamrita, etc. mostly after 1880 > when all great persons and his monastic and > household > diciples came in touch with him. by then, he was > already 44/45. that means most of his super > achivement > period, the struggles, milestones, incidents, etc. > prior to this period , i think, largely remain > uncovered. > > i would be very thankful all of you who can point to > variosu sources where i can find this detailed > information. sources may possibly extend to some > books, reminiscences, anecdotes, etc. > > i look forward to a lot of inputs in this regard. > > thanks > > chellamani > > > > > SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! > http://sbc. > > SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.
