Description
Sri Rama, Sri Krishna and Sri Ramakrishna are Gods since they embody dharma. And dharma is but love or Prema-unselfish, spontaneous and abundant. The three gods are but the manifestations of the Formless and Nameless, Birth less and Deathless, Satya and Dharma.
All the three are Ramas capable of showering the highest benediction, including eternal enlightenment and infinite bliss. The first Rama’s sojourn on earth was in the Treta age, as Ram Raghav. The second Rama sported on the banks of the Yamuna for the bliss of all as Ramanuja Krishna in the Dwapara age.
And, in the present age Kali, the third Rama stayed serenely on the shores of the Ganges granting peace, prosperity and bliss to all as Sri Ramakrishna. All few (forty-four) parallels have been presented as a humble offering at the altar of divinity in this book ‘Rama and Krishna as Ramakrishna’.
This book is based on the Sri Ramakrishna’s statement to Narendra, “He who was Rama and Krishna is now, in this body, Ramakrishna – but not in your Vedantic sense” and the uniformity of divine qualities exhibited by the incarnations. It throws light on how Sri Ramakrishna exhibited the divine qualities that are similar to His earlier avatar of Rama and Krishna.
As a boy holding to a post or pillar whirls about it with headlong speed without any fear of falling. So perform your worldly duties fixing your hold firmly upon God, and you will be free from danger.
What is the relation between the Jivatman and the Paramatman ? As a current of water seems to be divided into two when a plank of wood is placed against it edgewise, so the Indivisible appears divided into two, the Jivatman and the Paramatman, due to the limitation of Maya.
