Description:
Taba Kathamritam is an in-depth commentary on the Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita, a revered text that has been increasingly appreciated for its accessible and profound teachings of Sri Ramakrishna. The book offers an insightful interpretation of the timeless spiritual principles conveyed by Sri Ramakrishna in an easy and engaging manner, making complex philosophical ideas approachable for the general public. Swami Lokeshwarananda, the head of the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, has delivered a series of lectures over the years that embody this clarity, and Taba Kathamritam is the culmination of that effort. Not only does it explain the entire Kathamrita, but it also introduces the lives and teachings of Sri Ramakrishna's householder and renunciant disciples, offering a comprehensive look at his followers and the development of Ramakrishna Math and Mission branches across India. This book serves as both a spiritual guide and a historical account, filled with lesser-known facts about the mission's growth and impact.
