On the 18th of February, Nitin Gadkari pays tribute to the great seeker and thinker Swami Ramakrishna Paramhans ji on his birth anniversary.
Swami Ramakrishna Paramhans was a great spiritual leader of the 19th century whose teachings and philosophy continue to inspire people all over the world today. He was a mystic and a saint, a lover of God who devoted his life to the service of humanity. In this article, we will explore the life and legacy of Swami Ramakrishna Paramhans, and the impact that he had on the spiritual and cultural landscape of India and the world.
Swami Ramakrishna Paramhans was born in Kamarpukur, a small village in the Indian state of West Bengal, on February 18, 1836. His given name was Gadadhar Chattopadhyay, and he was the youngest of five children. From a young age, Gadadhar showed an interest in spiritual matters, and he would often retreat to the nearby forest to meditate and contemplate the mysteries of life.
As a young man, Gadadhar was apprenticed to his elder brother Ramkumar, who was a priest at a local temple. It was here that Gadadhar first met his future wife, Sarada Devi, who was a young girl at the time. Despite the difference in their ages, the two would go on to have a deep and meaningful spiritual relationship that lasted throughout their lives.
