IS HE THE SEVENTEENTH DIRECT DISCIPLE?




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramakrishna_Math
Swami Nirmalananda (Tulsi Maharaj) has been mentioned here as one of the 17 direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna as opposed to the list of 16 direct disciples that is the official version nowadays which excludes Swami Nirmalananda and considers him a disciple of Swami Vivekananda instead, although, there is confusion regarding his discipleship to Swami Vivekananda as well. It is an interesting point, nay, a point of vital historical importance, and needs some enlightenment by someone equipped with reliable information on this issue. If the Mission authorities enlighten us, it will be the best perhaps. Hope to receive some response to clear the confusion. Thanking all and paying my respects to all who the Master had chosen as his apostles.
