Hinduism is a polytheistic religion. For the Hindus, Goddess Kali is the only austere, down-to-earth deity who believes in absolute simplicity and openness. She does not hide her body; she is naked with her private parts covered by a garland of severed hands of demons slain by her. Her mind is overt as she sticks out her tongue representing her thirst for the blood of evil people whom she is determined to overpower and also her feeling of shame. Her soul yearns for pure and authentic love. She is unlike other Hindu goddesses who are opulently dressed and majestically ornamented. Kali’s child, God incarnate Sri Sri Ramakrishna, like his mother goddess is casual not only about his dress but also about his worshipping habits. This book looks at Ramakrishna, his method of devotion, his yearning for the goddess, and his value system and entire philosophy. It analyses the Hindu Saint’s soul and its slices that he had shared and still continues to share, even today—long after he left this planet, with those who understand him thoroughly and are meant to propagate his message. The author’s method of analysis and treatment of the subject are unique as no other Kali or Ramakrishna scholar had used for their probes earlier.

“It is an almost impossible task to know, to understand the REAL Ramakrishna. The Paramhansa was gracious enough to expose his REAL Self to some who deserved…” (Quotes from one of Sri Sri Ramakrishna’s closest devotees) The author, who is, at present, the only unparalleled scholar in the domain of Ramakrishna-related literature, has looked at the Avatar—as if, using all available measurement tools. A very special feature of the present work of the author is ‘My Thoughts on the Father’s Day’ where the author establishes, most logically and rationally, that most biological parents have limitations in making us understand the meaning and purpose of birth and life on this planet. We do need Spiritual Parents to guide us through. The author has most strongly felt that Ramakrishna is his Spiritual Father. Those who have never been exposed to the REAL Ramakrishna are likely to think him ‘mad’ being a witness to his diverse sports (leela). The author has used his meticulous researching skill to bring to light the REAL Ramakrishna and the manifold facets of his super-extraordinary personality many of which have remained undiscovered by even the most well-known Ramakrishna scholars—both Indian and foreign. The author, through the most innovative seven chapters of the book has concluded that the REAL Ramakrishna is not mad; it is those who think and call him ‘mad’ are mad.
