Dr. Mahendralal Sarkar was a leading Homoeopath of Kolkata during the second half of the nineteenth century. He was also blessed by providence to be Sri Ramakrishna's doctor after Sri Ramakrishna developed cancer of the throat. In this book, readers will get a glimpse into Dr. Sarkar's multifaceted personality and also into the intimate relationship he enjoyed with Sri Ramakrishna.
I hate this world, this dream, this horrible nightmare, with its churches and chicaneries, its books and blackguardisms, its fair faces and false hearts, its howling righteousness on the surface and utter hollowness beneath and, above all, its sanctified shopkeeping!
-Swami Vivekananda
