description: 1st edition, printed in Great Britain in 1965. Christopher Isherwood's biography of Ramakrishna (1836-1886).

But his disciples carried his message to the United States and England at the turn of the century. They also founded the Ramakrishna Order, dedicated equally to social service, worship, and meditation.
