This is an enlarged edition of our earlier publication, the Apostles of Sri Ramakrishna. Brief life sketches of some lay disciples of Sri Ramakrishna have been added and the book has been thoroughly revised.
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
