Description
Ramakrishna and Vivekananda represent one single truth, one its spirit and the other its form. What is the truth they represent? That man can develop till he feels he is one with God. To develop to that point is, according to them, the goal of life. Every effort that man makes should be directed to that end.
Between themselves, they have done much to regenerate India. They are not just religious and social leaders, they have given back to India her lost identity by rousing her national pride. Indian renaissance can truly be said to have begun with them.
Yet Ramakrishna and Vivekananda are above all barriers of race and creed. Their concern is for mankind as a whole, for to them it is one despite its many superficial divisions. If today their influence is spreading, it is because they address themselves to entire humanity. No wonder they enjoy universal love and respect, a fact to which the following pages bear ample testimony. This small book, with tributes to Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekanand from savants across the world, has proved immensely popular in that it has needed a second edition within a short while.
