Book – Ramakrishna Paramhamsa: The Sadhaka of Dakshineswar

By

Ramakrishna Paramhamsa: The Sadhaka of Dakshineswar is yet another book on Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. This new book on one of the most widely written saints India traces the several contradictions of nineteenth-century Bengal that the man embodied –

  • between his Vaishnava roots and Shakti worship;
  • between bhakti and gyan; and
  • between a guru and sadhaka (spiritual practitioner).

Ramakrishna Paramhamsa: The Sadhaka of Dakshineswar is written by Amiya P. Sen.

From the flyer of the book

Amiya P. Sen situates Sri Ramakrishna within the emerging social and cultural anxieties of the time as also the larger Hindu-Brahminical world that he was born into. This book also carries a brief but critical introduction to the moral and philosophical underpinnings of Ramakrishna’s vibrant theology that will be of interest to lay readers as well as those especially interested in the cultural and religious history of modern Bengal.
