After accepting the role of priest in the newly built Kali temple at Dakshineswar, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa performed unprecedented spiritual practice and revealed His realisations. He wanted to experience the Goddess He was worshipping directly. His intense longing for Mother Kali became so overwhelming She couldn’t keep Herself hidden from Him any longer.
Sri Ramakrishna didn’t stop there, Tantra, Vedanta, Vaishnavism, even Islam and Christianity, He gave the same intensity to the sincere understanding of them all. His famous liberal declaration ‘as many faiths, as many paths’ wasn’t the result of academic comparison or modern open-mindedness, it came from his own unique realisation, a gift from Goddess Kali to the world.
