The Indian mystic Ramakrishna (1836-1886) profoundly influenced not only Hinduism in India but also Western interpretations of Hinduism. Ramakrishna has played a critical role in India's religious revival and the growing influence of Hinduism in the West. While he has generally been viewed in the past century as an exemplar who taught inter religious harmony and individual spiritual striving, this view was shaken with the publication of Kali's Child, with its provocative assertions of Ramakrishna's alleged "troubled" past and homoerotic proclivities.

It is the most comprehensive life of Sri Ramakrishna available in English.Comment of a very senior swami on the history of the original English translation: "I am told from a very reliable source that when Swami Jagadanandaji Maharaj was asked to translate the Sri Sri Ramakrishna Lila Prasanga into English, he studied very well, and informed the General Secretary that he has something very important to discuss with them. His problem was, if he wants to stick honestly and sincerely to the ideas represented by Saradanandaji, a strict correct English translation, the English reading would be halting, and very dry and prosaic. And, if he wants to make it readable and pleasant, he would have to compromise some of the subtle ideas. He needed guidance from the headquarters what he should do. The president of the Order, Swami Virajanandaji expressed his view to try to make it as easily readable as possible without compromising the ideas mentioned in the original book."For the convenience of readers, this seventh edition has been reprinted in 2 volumes.

Interpreting Ramakrishna: Kali's Child Revisited is a scholarly rebuttal to the controversial book Kali's Child, by Jeffrey Kripal, which asserted that Sri Ramakrishna's mystical experiences were fueled by homoerotic desires that he neither accepted nor understood. A glaring weakness of Kripal is that he could barely read and understand Bengali, the language of the source material. Furthermore, he unfortunately was too eager to prove conclusions that the literature did not support.These and other points are explained step-by-step by Swami Tyagananda and Pravrajiks Vrajaprana, the authors of the present title.Included in Interpreting Ramakrishna is a lengthy analysis of scholarship on Sri Ramakrishna over the past century.According to Harvard professor Francis X.

A translation of the Bengali biography written by one of Ramakrishna's householder disciples. This is the second edition in English which contains much additional material... The life of Ramakrishna is described by the author, based on his personal experiences with Ramakrishna in addition to accounts given by relatives, neighbors, and people known to Ramakrishna. Written with a devotional and often times philosophical interpretation. The book itself was originally written as verse in Bengali. The translators had the tough task of keeping the spirit of the original while at the same time rendering a good translation.
