Ramakrishna’s Tantric Sadhana as Presented in The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna Editions

Record summary

The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna and Bengali Kathamrita traditions remained widely circulated in the period, presenting Ramakrishna’s tantric practices, visions, devotional ecstasies, and claims of religious realization. Although the underlying conversations were recorded in the nineteenth century, post-1947 editions and translations shaped modern understandings of Bengali Tantra. This is a textual and hagiographic lead, not a twentieth-century incident. Researchers should track translation choices, editorial omissions, and the distance between remembered dialogue and independently verifiable biography.
