Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886) is considered the spiritual giant of modern Hinduism. As Mahatma Gandhi wrote: “Ramakrishna’s life enables us to see God face to face.”

The Gospel of Ramakrishna was written in Bengali by Mahendra Nath Gupta, known as “M.” The present edition is the original version based on the author’s own English translation. This classic work is presented here in edited form for the contemporary reader. Also included is a short but comprehensive biography of Ramakrishna, written by his most famous disciple Swami Vivekananda.
