	A short biography of Ramakrishna
		Ramakrishna also appealed to those with an interest in yoga and esoteric practices by practicing a nondual form of meditation prescribed by Totapuri which seeks samadhi.
		Ramakrishna's message was welcomed by both the rural and urban religious people who did puja to the divine mother Kali as a protective and benevolent deity (Kali also has a fierce and destructive side which she generally does not show to those who worship her).

	Ramakrishna Mission
		Although Ramakrishna is believed to have said that there are as many paths to salvation as there are points of view, some of his followers today advocate a quite definite path.

		Ramakrishna, the God-man of modern India, was born as Gadadhar Chattopadhyaya in the Bengal village of Kamarpukur in 1836.

	Sri Ramakrishna
		Ramakrishna would also foster a lifelong adoration for a goddess, the goddess Kali, whom he sometimes venerated with such surrender and devotion that the prayer resulted in fits of ecstasy (or in the eyes of a rather detached Westerner, in fits of madness).
		Ramakrishna was also caught up in a religio-political movement, the Brahma Samaj, which strived at giving a new identity to the Hindu believer by making him feel proud of his religious heritage in the face of English colonialism.
		Ramakrishna is within the mystic tradition a true ascetic in the sense that he gave up all 'worldly life' and abhorred 'the ways of the world'.

	Sri Ramakrishna
		Sri Ramakrishna was born in 1836 and died in 1886 in Calcutta India.
		At a time when the very foundation of religion and faith in God was deteriorating, Sri Ramakrishna, through his spiritual realization, demonstrated beyond a doubt, not only the existence of God, but also the validity of the time-honored teachings of all the prophets and saviors of the past.
		When one talks of Sri Ramakrishna’s greatest contribution, it is no wonder his small room in the Dakshineswar Temple Garden on the outskirts of the city of Calcutta, which became a veritable parliament of religions, is mentioned first.

		Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa is generally known in India, and increasingly in the world, as a purna avatara, a full incarnation of God.

		When the cyclone of spiritual experiences abated somewhat and Sri Ramakrishna emerged as the unparalleled saint which he had become, and was ready to assume his role as a world teacher, he invited his wife to join him at Dakshineshwar.

	Ramakrishna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ramakrishna impressed upon Sarada Devi that she was not only the mother of his young disciples, but also of all humanity.
		The key concepts in Ramakrishna's teachings were the oneness of existence; the divinity of all living beings; the unity of God and the harmony of religions; that the primal bondage in human life is lust and greed (kamini and kanchana in Bengali).
		Ramakrishna's mystical realization, classified by Hindu tradition as nirvikalpa samadhi (literally, "constant meditation", thought to be absorption in the all-encompassing Consciousness), led him to believe that the various religions are different ways to reach The Absolute, and that the Ultimate Reality could never be expressed in human terms.

		The Ramakrishna Mission was founded by Swami Vivekananda but it was his spiritual master Ramakrishna who indirectly provided the main impetus for this movement.
