Uniqueness of Sri Ramakrishna

- T R Sambamurthy, Secretary, D.L.S., Port Blair

1. Sri Ramakrishna is verily an incarnation of God.
2. Sri Ramakrishna is an embodiment of all Gods and
Goddesses and so he is Sarva Deva Devi Swarupa, an unique
state indeed.
3. Sri Ramakrishna has practiced all the Bhavas and Tantras,
attaining the same summit through each claim.
4. The Paramahamsa has scrupulously followed the discipline
of Christianity and Islam and saw Christ and Mohammed
merging in his own body.
5. Sri Ramakrishna has emphatically declared that “As many
faiths, so many paths”.
6. Sri Ramakrishna’s uniqueness is seen in his choice of his
first disciple Sri Sarada Devi, his own consort, his training
her spiritually as well as secularly and also performing the
Shodasi puja of worshipping her as the Divine Mother.
7. His method of training his disciples according to the needs
and capacity of aspirants is unique.
8. Sri Ramakrishna is unique as nothing is negative but
everything is positive in him.
9. The philosophy of Sri Ramakrishna is unique in the sense
that unlike other systems of philosophy, it is a way of life
and realization than a way of speculation.
10.Sri Ramakrishna had the first Samadhi at the age of 7 and
the vision of Divine Mother at the age of 20.
11.Sri Ramakrishna’s married life was demonstrated through
life-long spiritual practice sacrificing the sexual pleasures.
12.Sri Ramakrishna is an unique figure in the history of
Hinduism, because without much education he preached and
practiced the sublime truth of yoga and Vedanta.
13.Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa’s unique life is a story of
religion in practice, which enables us to see God face to face.
He was a living embodiment of godliness.
14. Sri Ramakrishna has uniquely revealed his Divinity to the
world on 1st January 1886, the Kalpataru Day, for the
devotees of Sri Ramakrishna, who showered his blessings
unconditionally on everyone present in the Cossipore
garden.
15.It is a great wonder that Sri Ramakrishna, the illiterate
priest of Dakshineswar temple, who lived only for 50 years,
has taught us the great philosophy of Hinduism in a simple
and unique way to realize God by renouncing Kama and
Kanchana (lust and lure) with intense longing for the vision
of God and at last attained Maha Samadhi in 1886, mingling
his Atma with Paramatma.

Glory to Ramakrishna!
