GOSPEL OF RAMAKRISHNA


ii

In the afternoon Sri Ramakrishna was still seated in Balaram's drawing-room. On His face was a sweet smile, the reflection of which was caught by the faces of the disciples. Girish Ghosh,[1] Suresh Mittra,[2] Balaram, Latoo,[3] Chunilall [4] and many other disciples were present. Ramakrishna (to Girish) : You would better argue the point with Narendra (Vivekananda) and see what he has to say.

Girish: Narendra says: "God is Infinite.


  1. Girish Chunder Ghosh, the greatest Hindu poet, drama- tist and actor of modern India. He is the founder and manager of many theatres in Calcutta. He is regarded as the Garrick of India. He translated Shakespeare's Macbeth into Bengali and played the part of the hero with wonderful ability and originality. He is a genius and the most devoted householder disciple of Ramakrishna.
