	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's experience was that the truth of all religions is a manifestation of the Shakti, or Divine Mother, and that this divine power is at work with everyone, including the poor, and thus inspiring the Mission's social service.
		Ramakrishna, the God-man of modern India, was born as Gadadhar Chattopadhyaya in the Bengal village of Kamarpukur in 1836.

		Ramakrishna made Sarada Devi feel as if she was not only the mother of his young disciples, but also of the entire humanity.
		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 gods of the various religions are merely so many interpretations of the Absolute, and that the Ultimate Reality could never be expressed in human terms.
		Ramakrishna's realization of nirvikalpa samadhi also led him to an understanding of the two sides of maya (illusion), to which he referred as avidyamaya and vidyamaya: He explained that avidyamaya represents the dark forces of creation (eg sensual desire, evil passions, greed, lust and cruelty), which keep the world system on lower planes of consciousness.

		When Ramakrishna paid his visit to Trailanga Swami he later declared him to be a real Paramahamsa, a "veritable image of Siva." Ramakrishna also described the Swami as having taken a vow of silence, but also quotes him regarding the mind, so apparently he was not always silent (possibly writing responses).
		Their writings and support were partly responsible for bringing the word of Ramakrishna into the public consciousness after they came into contact with the Vedanta Society founded by Swami Vivekananda and his followers in California in the late 1930s.
		Ramakrishna's American religious offshoot, The Vedanta Society of Southern California, under the auspices of Huxley and Isherwood, seemed to place an extraordinary heavy emphasis on Samadhi, but, although an intregal part of the Ramakrishna movement generally, Samadhi didn't seem to carry any more than its regualar importance otherwise.

	Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
		To Ramakrishna it was not a statue but the Mother herself and he carried out all the prescribed rites with full devotion and love for the Mother and an intense longing for a vision of her real form.
		After this event Ramakrishna was constantly seeking a repetition of the vision of the Mother's form and She began to reveal herself to him, first in his trance states and later in ordinary consciousness.
		Ramakrishna replied in his simple way that he would have to go "ask his Mother" and in a subsequent conversation with the Divine Mother she said, "Yes, my son.

	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 died of cancer of the throat in 1886, leaving his wife Sarada Devi who was considered a saint in her own right to take charge of his disciples and carry on his message.

		Ramakrishna first was a Kali worshipper, but he specifically and explicitly did so with the understanding expressed in the Bhagavad Gita, ie that all those appearances are in fact just the Supreme Person.
		Ramakrishna in different periods of his lifetime practiced several different paths (including Islam and Christianity) specifically in order to demonstrate that the SAME Supreme Person is worshipped by all these paths, which is what Srila Prabhupada and Krsna himself have said as well.
		Ramakrishna said of the Srimad Bhagavatam, "It is fried in the butter of Knowledge and stepped in the honey of Love".

		This experience of nirvikalpa samadhi also convinced Ramakrishna that the Gods of the various religions are merely so many interpretations of the Absolute, and that the Ultimate Reality could never be expressed in human terms.
		It could be argued that Ramakrishna's vision of Hinduism, and its popularisation by western converts like Christopher Isherwood, have largely coloured western notions of what Hinduism is.

	Refutation of Daist fabrications regarding Ramakrishna
		In their campaign to bring down Ramakrishna, Daist revisionists have now put forth statements (on the Ken Wilber Forum) that Ramakrishna was "virtually unknown, unnoticed and unacknowledged in his lifetime".
		In the room of Sri Ramakrishna, who was then in bed with dysentery, the Vedantists engaged in scriptural discussions and, forgetting his own physical suffering, he solved their doubts by referring directly to his own experiences.

		In the Katham.rta we are told that after seeing Ramakrishna eat, Gauri used to ask Ramakrishna whether he took the Bhairavi for his sadhana, that is, whether he had engaged in ritual intercourse with her.
		When Ramakrishna, for example, uses the term, it usually refers either to the sexual pleasure a wife and husband experience in their conjugal relations or to a mystical form of sexual union: "Saccidananda Siva is in the thousand-petaled lotus--he unites with Sakti.
		It is important to note here the terms with which Ramakrishna commonly addressed the Bhairavi--"Mother"-- and with which the Bhairavi addressed Ramakrishna--"Child." It was a relationship that Ramakrishna felt quite comfortable with, despite the hints of something improper or scandalous in his behavior.

		The Ramakrishna Temple at Belur Math is a place of international pilgrimage, significant because Swami Vivekananda placed the relics of Sri Ramakrishna there and envisioned a unique temple to house them.
		On his way Swamiji said to the disciple: "Sri Ramakrishna said to me, ‘Wherever you will take me on your shoulders, there I will go and stay, be it under a tree or in a hut.’ It is therefore that I am myself carrying him on my shoulders to the new Math grounds.
