SRI RAMAKRISHNA |
|
| THERE have been
many great saints in our country. Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa is one of them. We call a very great saint a Paramahamsa. Sri Ramakrishna was born to pious parents in a village called Kamarpukar in Bengal in the year 1836. His parents named him Gadadhar. From very early age he showed signs of becoming a God-man. His parents put him to school. He did not, however, show any interest in studies. All the same, he won the heart of the villagers by his devotion and love. Sri Ramakrishna, as he was later called, had an elder brother by name Ram Kumar. He was a priest in the temple of Kali at Dakshineshwar near Calcutta. Sri Ramakrishna helped him in the temple. When Sri Ramakrishna was but twenty years old, Ram Kumar died. |
