Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsadever Jivanvrttanta, written by Ram Chandra Datta is regarded as the first biography of Ramakrishna. It goes into great detail about the sadhanas done by Ramakrishna. I want to get the English translation of this book. Pdf or digital will also work.

  • I don't think it's available in English. After whatever, the author mentioned about Paramahamsa - it was outrageous, scandalous and reports of lawsuits against the writer have been talked about. It can only be read in Bengali, I guess, as far as any published work goes.

    @Vivikta no no. I don't think so. Even RKM website praise the author Ram Chandra Datta and his biography of Ramakrishna. RKM even sell the bengali version. About the scandalous part, it's only claimed by jeffery kripal the western "researcher" who wrote controversial Kali's child. Don't take his words seriously. Even RKM refuted his book point by point. Some other haters like narasingha sil have written the same for Ramakrishna's sadhnas. But they can be refuted easily.

  • Yes, the allegations, might be false maybe. In any case, the Advaita-ashrama only sells the Bengali version. So, which publisher is selling the English ones?

    Thanks sir. That answers my question. Is there any traditional translation available in public? Like those of Kathamrita and Leelaprasanga?
