DISCIPLE DEPRIVED OF GURU BY UNHISTORICAL COUNT

DISCIPLE DEPRIVED OF GURU BY UNHISTORICAL COUNT

Swami Nirmalananda [Tulsi Maharaj], a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna who for some reason best known to Belur Math is not recognised by it as one such. Belur Math fails to say whose disciple Swami Nirmalananda in that case was. So, Tulsi Maharaj remains in animated suspension as the lonesome figure without a recognised identity in terms of preceptor-pupil succession. Does such a seminal one deserve such a shameful treatment that is now becoming an embarrassment for the Order to rectify? Still there is time and a reconciliation in this regard ought to be in order. Let Tulsi Maharaj be restored to his rightful place as a dear disciple of Thakur without further delay.
