Loved this book. I first read it 30 years ago and re-read it lately. Great spiritual leaders, like Vivekananda, do not have easy, blissful lives. Their struggles are inspiring to me as I struggle with my spiritual life. His personality is also an inspiration to me--so dynamic and powerful. Great insights into the man. The ending always makes me cry.
This book gives a short but comprehensive chronological account of the life of Sri Ramakrishna - the 'Prophet of Dakshineswar'.

"The story of Ramakrishna Raramahamsa's life is a story of religion in practice. His life enables us to see God face to face. No one can read the story of his life without being convinced that God alone is real and that all else is illusion". (M.K. Gandhi - from the Foreword to the book).
A brief account of Hinduism in both its theoretical and practical aspects.
Book Description: Allen & Unwin London, 1963. Very Good/ Good Dust wrapper. Abridged version.
