WHY THIS OMISSION?
https://www.youtube.com/
Where is the mention of the 17th monastic disciple of Sri Ramakrishna in this video entitled 'BELUR MATH | The heart of Ramakrishna Movement : A Documentary on Belur Math (Full)'? Why has he been left out of the count here? Swami Nirmalananda (Tulsi Maharaj) was the 17th direct disciple of Thakur and finds no place here. Strange, to say the least! 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' by M and 'Life of Sri Ramakrishna' by Swami Nikhilananda, which has a foreword written by Mahatma Gandhi, both include Swami Nirmalananda as a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. Then why this omission? View from 13.15 min onward for just under a minute till 14.10 min and you will get to see this glaring and unfortunate omission.
It is time to redress this repugnant removal and reinstate Swami Nirmalananda as one of the 17 direct disciples (and not 16, remember) of the Master who ever swore by truth, was the living embodiment of it and in whose name only truth and never falsity ought to be propagated for whatever grand design of personality, cult, organisation, expediency of the hour or even supposed benefit to the lot of humanity in deliberate deletion of the name of a direct disciple of the divinity of Dakshineshwar.
