Ramakrishna, The Nectar of Eternal Bliss

[Guest guest]

Dear family,

 

I just completed my first reading of Shree Maa and Swamiji's new

translation of M.'s Kathamrita.

 

I am overwhelmed and speechless.

 

All I can do is quote the last sentence:

 

Shree Maa: Narendra (Vivekananda) is saying there is no difference

between worshipping God and worshipping the Guru.

 

Jai Sri Ramakrishna! Jai Maa! Om.

 

Here is what some others have to say:

 

Swami Tapasyananda of the Ramakrishna Tapomath, Bakreswar says:

 

"This translation of The Nectar of Eternal Bliss captures the bhava of

Sri Ramakrishna.

It is the closest to being there that can be communicated in writing."

 

Swami Subodhananda Saraswati of West Bengal says:

 

"Kathamrita is unique in spiritual literature. It is a diary of what

transpired in the presence

of a realized man. The Nectar of Eternal Bliss conveys that fully. All

the poetry, the music,

the philosophy, the laughter and joy, all that Ramakrishna stood for,

come through the

pages of this wonderful book."

 

Tears of gratitude to Shree Maa and Swamiji for this offering.

 

Now I am ready to read it again!
