Rama and Krishna as Ramakrishna

Sri Ramakrishna’s said to Narendra (Swami Vivekananda), “He who was Rama and Krishna is now, in this body, Ramakrishna – but not in your Vedantic sense." The book is a look at the philosophy behind that statement. It throws light on how Sri Ramakrishna exhibited the divine qualities that are similar to His earlier manifestations as Rama and Krishna. Arranged by subject, the divine qualities are described either through exposition or through story.

Illustrated throughout, the book at first almost has the feel of a children’s book, but clearly it is for young adults and older readers. While comparing the divine qualities of Ramakrishna with those of Rama and Krishna, the writer highlights challenges encountered by individuals and society at large in our present life, and suggests solutions through apt examples from the lives of these god-men, Rama, Krishna and Ramakrishna.
