"This book provides deep insights into the life and personality of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa. Describing his family background and early life, it discusses at length his marriage with Sarada Devi, his life-long celibacy, his devotion to Goddess Kali and his philosophy of Advaita.

Taking a lose look at his teachings and methods of Imparting them, it tries to interpret the spiritual experiences of Sri Ramakrishna of assimilating different religions and sects, indicating the great path of religions synthesis--acceptance of all religions and rejection of none."
