So in this class

we study this book, the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.

I know I say it every class, but then there are new people, some new faces.

So we study this book, the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, which is basically the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna

recorded by Mahindranad Gupta, who was a school teacher, a school headmaster, a close devotee of Sri Ramakrishna.

In this book he just goes by the name M.

And extensive records of the conversations that Sri Ramakrishna had.

It's a spiritual classic.

And this English translation was done right here in New York by Swami Nikhilananda around the Second World War, just in the early years.

So we are on page 200 in my book, dated 8th April, it's a Sunday, Sunday, April 8, 1883.

And as always, I'll read from the book and then you can always ask questions, comment.

All right, Sunday, April 8, 1883.

Last time, if you remember, I read out a passage in Bengali,

which is a part of the original Katham Rita, which Swami Nikhailanji omitted, did not translate it. I mean, it's not part of the proceedings of the day, but it's just a very beautiful kind of sublime introduction to the day given by M.

Where he says, come brother, let us go to that God intoxicated holy man of Daksineshwar who lives on the bank of the Ganga.

Always the name of the mother for Sramkrishna God was mother. The name of the mother, for Sirama Krishna, God was mother.

The name of the mother is always on his lips.
