Life of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (Ramchandra Datta)
শ্রীশ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ পরমহংসদেবের জীবনবৃত্তান্ত

An early witness from the circle of married devotees, more inclined than the monks to proclaim Ramakrishna an avatar. It matters for the history of the master’s image before the Order fixed its version.

Authorship note
The first biography, by the lay disciple Ramchandra Datta (1851–1899), who had already gathered the master’s teachings in 1885 and delayed publication at his request. He later expanded it as Tattva-Prakashika.
