Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa was one of the great sages who lived about hundred years ago. He hailed from a small village in Bengal. Even in his early years, his identity as a blessed soul was revealed.

She commanded him to practice and prove various schools of Hindu dharma of attaining God. Hence, he practiced Sakya Bhava, Dasya Bhava, Nayaka-Nayaki Bhava and Vatsalya Bhava and the tantra sadhana and found them to be true ways of realisation of God under the guidance of Bhairavi Brahmani, Avadhuta Totapuri and Jatadhari. He practiced Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism and found that they also lead to God realisation. One has to take many births to follow to master even one of the above-mentioned methods to realise God. His lived with his wife Sarada as guru-sishya. He trained many in sanyasa ashrama.

People are still clinging to Hindu religion, because of the great saints like him.Let us bow at his feet and enjoy peace.
