The Life of Ramakrishna
By Romain Rolland, translated by E. F. Malcolm-Smith, 244 pages, Hardcover.
Written by the Nobel prize winning French savant, Romain Rolland, this is one of the first Western biographies of Sri Ramakrishna. Rolland was not just interested in what Sri Ramakrishna had to say, it was mainly his life that he wanted to present. Sri Ramakrishna demonstrated in his life that God was a fact of experience––not just for a chosen few, but for all who cared to listen, no matter what their race, position in society or creed.
