Sri Ramakrishna - The Great Master book is the most comprehensive, authentic and critical estimate of the life, sadhana and teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna. Swami Saradananda, a direct monastic desciple of Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna, provides a detailed account of the daily life of Sri Ramakrishna and purpose of his advent. An attempt is made herein to present the reader the mental picture formed through hearing from various people a number of unrelated incidents from the Master's life at that time.
