Ramakrishna: The Mystic of Many Paths


Episode 1069


The provided text is an extensive biographical overview of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, a renowned 19th-century Indian Hindu mystic known for his spiritual pluralism. It details his early life in Bengal, his intense devotional service as a priest at the Dakshineswar Kali Temple, and his pursuit of divine realization through various traditions, including Tantra, Vedanta, Islam, and Christianity. The sources emphasize his core teaching that all religions represent different paths to the same God, a philosophy that influenced the Bengali Renaissance and attracted a diverse group of followers. Significant attention is given to his chief disciple, Swami Vivekananda, who institutionalized his master’s mission and introduced his ideas to the West. Additionally, the text outlines the literary legacy of his teachings and the varied academic and psychoanalytic interpretations of his mystical experiences.
