 Message of Sri Ramakrishna
Dr.T.V.Rao MDHuman life continues to be amystery, no one really understands purpose of ourselvesin this world, before we complete the cycle of our life. Indiacontinues to be land of Karma bhumi which is gifted withgreat saints; Sri Ramakrishna is one who stands tall beforemany others. Sri Ramakrishna was born in 1836 andpassed away in 1886.
Sri Ramakrishna, the most reveredsaint in Bengal, had the astounding distinction of beingdeclared an incarnation of God during his lifetime by many ofthe prominent scholars of his days.
Although he spent themajor part of his life just seven miles from Calcutta, thenthe capital of British India, few came to know about himduring his lifetime. Still fewer truly realized his message.
Sri Ramakrishna’s message, too, remained undiscovered
in his own time.
Ramakrishna’s message is based solely on
his own experience and his direct perception of God.
Amessage that is destined to change history takes time tostrike root in the minds of people, but the ushering in ofthat revolution required years until an inspired newgeneration of scientists came forward.

Life is notpossession of material wealth; Life is an expression of thespontaneous creativity (Lila) of God. Pleasure and pain,success and failure, are to be borne with patience, and oneshould resign oneself to God
