REPUBLISH 'THE CONDENSED GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA'


REPUBLISH 'THE CONDENSED GOSPEL OF SRI RAMAKRISHNA'

Ramakrishna Mission must republish 'The Condensed Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' chronicled by M in English. This was the first edition of the Gospel and drew up demands from the Master's devotees for its Bengali edition which eventually showed up in the form of 'Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita'.
After a brief appearance several years back when I chanced to buy 'The Condensed Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna', I have not seen it anymore in the shelves of the Mission's sales-counters for books. It is a wonderful original account of the Master's day-to-day life which had been read and approved of by none other than Swami Vivekananda. Swamiji did not live to see the Kathamrita appear in Bengali.
I exhort devotees to raise the demand for the republication of this exquisite original historical work of the master chronicler, M.
