The more 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' spreads in the world, the greater number of people ask: Who is this Ramprasad, whose songs Sri Ramakrishna so often sang? This small book is designed to be a modest answer to the above question.Sri Ramprasad (1723-1803), the melodious mystic of Bengal, belongs to that wonderful galaxy of Indian mystics whose approach to the Divine found expression and consummation in songs and melodies which form a part of the spiritual heritage of India. In this book an attempt has been made to portray the inner moods, the beauty and grandeur of the spiritual emotions of this great saint.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
