adbhutananda -lrb- died 1920 -rrb- , born rakhturam , was a direct monastic disciple of ramakrishna , a mystic of nineteenth century bengal .
he is familiarly known as latu maharaj among the followers of ramakrishna .
adbhutananda was the first monastic disciple to come to ramakrishna .
while most of ramakrishna 's direct disciples came from the bengali intelligentsia , adbhutananda 's lack of formal education made him unique amongst them .
he was a servant boy of a devotee of ramakrishna , and he later became his monastic disciple .
though unlettered , adbhutananda was considered as a monk with great spiritual insight by ramakrishna 's followers , and vivekananda regarded him as `` the greatest miracle of ramakrishna '' .
