The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna as translated by Swami Nikhilananda records the conversations of Sri Ramakrishna with his disciples, devotees, and visitors. On account of his deep mystical experiences and constant absorption in God, Sri Ramakrishna (1836 - 1886) is regarded as being of the stature of Krishna, Buddha, and Christ. Mahatma Gandhi has said of Sri Ramakrishna that "His life enables us to see God face to face." The abridged edition of The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna will be found useful for daily devotional reading and especially convenient to carry. The original work has been reduced to less than one-third of its size by eliminating repetitions and unfamiliar references. This has been done without affecting the continuity or the completeness of the teaching. This edition retains the biographical introduction from the unabridged edition, a glossary, and index.
