A Short Life of Sri Ramakrishna presents a vivid and compassionate account of the extraordinary life of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa — the mystic of Dakshineswar whose spiritual realizations transformed modern India. Beginning with his humble birth in Kamarpukur, the narrative follows his childhood purity, intense longing for God, and his remarkable spiritual journey at the Kali Temple in Dakshineswar.

The book describes his ecstatic devotion to the Divine Mother, his severe spiritual disciplines, and his realization of God through various paths — Tantra, Vaishnavism, Advaita Vedanta, and even other religions. Through these experiences, Sri Ramakrishna proclaimed the harmony of all faiths and the universality of spiritual truth.

Swami Tejasananda’s simple yet powerful narration makes this biography accessible to all readers. It portrays not only the outward events of Ramakrishna’s life but also the inner fire of his yearning, compassion, purity, and God-realization. Ideal for seekers and devotees, this small volume offers an inspiring doorway into the life of a master whose influence continues to shine across the world.
