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.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
