Description
Thirty-two articles revealing various aspects of Sri Ramakrishna's extraordinary personality and the significance of his advent.From the book: Sri Ramakrishna had the divine power to transmit spirituality to others and lift them to higher states of consciousness. This he would do either by thought, power or touch. Like Swami Vivekananda many of us used to visit him and had the privilege of being lifted to higher planes of consciousness according to our capacities. I myself had the privilege of attaining to that high spiritual consciousness (Samadhi) thrice by his touch and wish during his lifetime. I am living still to bear direct testimony to his great spiritual powers. It was neither hypnotism, nor a mere state of deep sleep inasmuch as such realizations brought about changes of character and outlook, which were more or less permanent. --- Swami Shivananda
