This is the story of a phenomeneon. Ramakrishna(1836-1886) spent almost all of his adult life meditating and teaching in a temple on the bank of the Ganges. During his lifetime, he was known to relatively few people. But his disciples carried his message to the U.S. and the U.K. at the turn of the century. They also founded the Ramakrishna Order, an order dedicated equally to social service, worship and meditation.
