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.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
