Ramakrishna Parmahamsa's career was unique in the socio-religious history of our sub-continent. His life passed through several experiments having deep bearing on his search for truth and knowledge. At last he succeeded in his mission which showed its worth at national and international level. Devotees-men as well as women-thronged to listen to him with highest degree of discipline.

The theme contains fifteen chapters and two appendices which deal with the philosophy and ideology of his life in a comprehensive way. The fount of spiritualism had dep bearing on relations and partings, visitors and disciples, women devotees, pilgrimage and family troubles, the Gandhian ideology and the end of the long journey which was traversed in difficult pursuits.

This work would be useful for teachers, scholars, students and those who are interested in Ramakrishna's ideology and philosophy.
