The book is based on the Bengali book 'Sri Ramakrishna Parikrama' by Kalijivan Devsharma and contains brief information about 1273 persons who were either companions or followers of Sri Ramakrishna. It will help readers who want to know more about the lesser-known characters who find mention in Sri Ramakrishna's literature as well as tradition.
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
