Description
Next to the Holy Mother rank the Monastic disciples in spreading the Master’s message and giving practical shape to it, with Swami Vivekananda at their head, and the Ramakrishna Math ad their Centre. When the Great Light Disappeared, the Lamps that had been kindled by it began to shed luster in innumerable places.
Indeed each monastic disciple of the Master became a Centre of wide influence and was instrumental in transforming hundreds of lives. Each one of them was, as the following pages will show, a gigantic spiritual personality, superb in character, unique in achievement, and an asset to humanity. When one considers this, one wonders how so many almost superhuman characters could cluster together at one and the same time. Truly Sri Ramakrishna was a great jeweller, who could collect so many jewels and leave them as a legacy to the world.
Expert:
Shri Ramakrishna was a wonderful Gardener. Therefore he has made a bouquet of different flowers and formed his order. All different types and ideas have come into it, and many more will com. Shri Ramakrishna used to say, “Whoever has prayed to God Sincerely for one day, must come here.”
--- Swami Vivekananda
