| What Others Said About Ramakrishna
Mahatma Gandhi
"The story of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's life is a story of religion in practice. His life enables us to see God face to face."
Huston Smith
"Ramakrishna's teachings on the essential unity of the great religions comprise Hinduism's finest voice on this topic."
Arnold Toynbee
"Sri Ramakrishna's message was unique in being expressed in action. Religion is not just a matter for study, it is something that has to be experienced and to be lived, and this is the field in which Sri Ramakrishna manifested his uniqueness. His religious activity and experience were, in fact, comprehensive to a degree that had perhaps never before been attained by any other religious genius, in India or elsewhere."
Romain Rolland
"Ramakrishna was a rare combination of individuality and universality, personality and impersonality. His word and example have been echoed in the hearts of Western men and women. His soul animates modern India."
Thomas Mann
"This highly noteworthy document [The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna] conveys the personality of a great mystic in such an intimate, direct, and almost astounding manner that to read it must be an enriching experience for any intellect which is receptive and open to all things human."
Christopher Isherwood
"This is the story of a phenomenon." (Isherwood's opening sentence in Ramakrishna and His Disciples.)
