A remarkable Hindu holy man, Ramakrishna illuminates our present global situation by teaching us how to live among the many world religions. In 1856, his brother died, and Ramakrishna, already noted for his piety, became the temple priest. From the beginning, Ramakrishna exhibited an intensity of devotion to his Mother that was the basis for every later spiritual experience. He felt able and compelled to look elsewhere to find Her again and again in the rich variety of Hindu religious experiences. Ramakrishna did not stop upon reaching these limits of the Hindu experience.
