Thakur Ramakrishna Paramhansa Dev.
I am offering pronama to a great Avatar and again writing few words so that we can follow at least something of his advices.
Once Swamiji said,”we should accept the ideology of Sri Sri Ramakrishna to make our country prosperous”.
In present time we say that it is impossible to live without 4 “C” i.e. car, computer, credit card and cellular phone. Once Ramakrishna said about 4 “C” –commitment, confidence, celibacy and cross (yoga). Only in the age of seventeen he came to Kolkata with his elder brother Ram Kumar as a priest. He did not know education or literature, but he taught us to live in very simple way. He said, “A man is not a man until he serves a man. So go the people and serve them. God lives in everything”. Again he said ,”if you want to mad, be for god, who can laugh, cry for the man”.
Rani Rasmoni Devi made a temple in Dakhineswar where Ramakrishna was engaged as a head priest. In that temple he wanted to make many young as a man. Swami Vivekananda and many others were such great sons of India.

He was born in a unknown village named Kamarpukur in Hoogly district of West Bengal. His original name was Gadadhar Chattopadhyay. He married Maa Sarada when she was only nine. He was a great devotee of Maa Kali. He accepted all religions like Islam, Christianity etc. He proved that there might be much way to go to God but the aim is one. There are many names of god just like water. Hindus call it jall, Muslims call pani and christens call water. Thus he taught us many things in many way simply.
Once Maa Sarada told to him in great sorrow that she had no child. Ramakrishna answered, “one day will come when you will be irritated to hear the call mother”. He said , “each of us carry a head but nobody knows what it contents. We are all powerful. We should act like a human being and then we will be prosperous”.
For this he was a great mystic of India. Many of his devotees believe that he was an Avatar of god.
Thus he advised us not to quarrel in the name of religion, to live peacefully with proper education. He first told about ahimsa also. Only he can said, “Even I can take birth in form of dog also if it will be beneficial to any”.
Pronam to such Parahamsa.
