I was away for a month.

I was visiting India.

And one of the places I've actually visited is the house of M, the author of the gospel

of Sri Ramakrishna, and I actually gave a talk there.

So that was interesting. It's such a small and I mean that areas, it's not a small

house, but big house, but it's a very congested area. It's old Calcutta. And but even when you go

there, you still feel a kind of vibration, a kind of in the midst of that bustling, very crowded area,

you still feel an inwardness and calmness in that house.

Ome, Thabha, Mritam, taptah, jivenam, kaviditam, kalmashapaham, shravana, shriam, davhya, Bhuvigrinanthiya, Burydhajanah.

It's the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. I'll just start where we had left off. This was on, so long discussion with the Brahmo devotees.

Kesheb Seine is visiting. We remember that.

And he comes in a boat with the Brahmo devotees.

And then Sredam Krishna goes to that boat.

And then they have a long discussion there.

It's actually October 27th, 1882. And we had read quite a bit of it on the page.

I'm going to dive into it and page 142.

So you remember the scene.

Sri Ramakrishna is there. Keshopsane is there, surrounded by a lot of Brahmu devotees.

Now one interesting thing is, in most of these descriptions, almost all I think, you will find men.

Because of the nature of society at that time, the men and the women used to come to Sri

Ramakrishna separately. And so when M was there, Master Mahashai, he would obviously be there with the men devotees.

So throughout this Gospel of Sri Ram Krishna, you will find Sram Krishna surrounded by the men devotees.
