When people met Sri Ramakrishna for the first time, he responded to them in different ways, according to their inner nature. This carefully researched book gives us a glimpse of the meetings as well as the events in people's lives that led up to the meetings.
Face the brutes. That is a lesson for all life -- face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.
-Swami Vivekananda
