Ramakrishna Paramahansa Dev
Sri Ramakrishna was a 19th-century Indian mystic and spiritual leader who preached the harmony of all religions. He emphasized that the ultimate goal of human life is the realization of the Divine. Through his simple yet profound parables, he taught that "as many faiths, so many paths," inspiring millions to seek spiritual truth regardless of their religious background.
Maa Sarada Devi
Sri Sarada Devi, the spiritual consort of Sri Ramakrishna, is revered as the 'Holy Mother.' She was the embodiment of unconditional love, patience, and spiritual strength. Even after the passing of Sri Ramakrishna, she became the guiding light and the spiritual mother to the fledgling monastic order, teaching that "if you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others."
Swami Vivekananda
The chief disciple of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda was a key figure in the introduction of Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world. He is best known for his ground-breaking speech at the Parliament of the World's Religions in 1893. His teachings focused on the potential of the human soul, social service, and the "worship of the living God" in the poor and the downtrodden.
