Râmakrishna was a great Hindu saint of the nineteenth century who has already had an influence on the religious thought of America and England through the teachings of his disciples, Swâmi Vivekânanda, Swâmi Abhedânanda, and others. His Sayings are full of broad practical, non-sectarian instructions concerning the spiritual life which cannot but give help and inspiration to the followers of all creeds. The present volume contains a larger number of Sayings than has yet appeared in any one English collection. For the first time also they have been classified into chapters and arranged in logical sequence under marginal headings, such as “All creeds paths to God,” “Power of Mind and Thought,” “Meditation,” “Perseverance.” As an exposition of the universal truths of Religion and their application to the daily life this book takes its place among the great scriptures of the world.

“This little book gives an account of the character and career of the remarkable man known in India as Paramahamsa Srimat Râmakrishna, who is regarded by a great number of his countrymen as a divine incarnation. It is not more remarkable for the story it tells of a holy man than for the clear English in which it is told, and the expressions of elevated thought in its pages.”—Journal, Indianapolis, May 13th, 1901.
“The book, besides telling the life of Sri Râmakrishna, gives an insight into some of the religious ideas of the Hindus and sets forth the more important ideals that vitally influence India’s teeming millions. If we are willing to sympathetically study the religious views of our Aryan brethren of the Orient, we shall find them governed by spiritual concepts in no way inferior to the highest known to ourselves, concepts which were thought out and practically applied by these ancient philosophers in ages so remote as to antedate history.”—Post, Washington, May 13th, 1901.
