Publisher's summary
Sri Ramakrishna is revered in India and the West as a prophet belonging to the spiritual line of Krishna, Buddha, and Christ. Seekers of all religions will find in this book courage, faith, hope, and illumination. You will feel God to be very real and within reach. Listen to Sri Ramakrishna’s conversations and be in the company of a great soul.
Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886) had a passionate yearning for the vision of God. At the age of 16, he went to Calcutta, but was disappointed by the materialistic ideals of the people of the great city. Refusing to direct his attention to secular studies, he became a priest in the Dakshineswar temple, where God is worshipped as the Divine Mother of the Universe. By his intense prayer and longing, and through a series of unprecedented spiritual practices, he obtained the vision of God. Through the various systems of Hinduism and the religions of Christianity and Islam, Ramakrishna always reached the same goal of God-consciousness, and said, “As so many faiths, so many paths”–the basis of interfaith harmony today. There came to him all kinds of people, men and women, young and old, educated and illiterate, agnostic and orthodox, who asked him questions about spiritual life and accepted his words as true. Ramakrishna’s love for all people knew no barriers of race, color, or culture, and he spoke freely to everyone who sought his counsel and blessings without expecting anything in return.
This audiobook, read by Paul Bazely, brings to life the words of a great prophet and God-man. This audiobook contains a short biography of Sri Ramakrishna, which is also published separately as an audiobook under the title Sri Ramakrishna, A Biography, by Swami Nikhilananda.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

In the Upanishads, illumined sages share flashes of insight, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself.

They teach that each of us, each Self, is eternal, deathless, one with the power that created the universe.

In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack.

The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

Written almost entirely in Vimalananda’s own words, it presents events from his life, tenets of his philosophy, and highlights from his spiritual practices. Designed partly to shock and partly to comfort, but wholly as an offering to his Beloved, Aghora is a picture of a man who was a riddle wrapped up in an enigma.

Story
These 1028 poems, grouped as 10 ‘Circles’ (mandalas), have variously been called hymns, poems or songs by Sanskrit scholars. The Rik (so pronounced by the ancient Angirases clans, or Seer-Priest families) was an experiment with sound. The emphasis is always on sounding the words perfectly. The focus tends to be on the ideas rather than on the authors in Vedic literature, they are largely religious in nature, reflecting the world view and spiritual preoccupations of ancient India.

It is a story of a Brahmin boy who follows his heart and ventures out into the world to experience life as a pious Brahmin, a Samana, a rich merchant, a lover, and ordinary ferryman to a father - each life bringing a new awakening, bringing him closer to the truth until he is finally one with Buddha.

As you read the stories of authentic guru-disciple relationships Swami Rama had both with his master and with his own students, you will see how the spiritual wisdom is transmitted through generations.

What if Jesus were not a supernatural being conceived by a virgin but a real human being who had experienced the awakening of consciousness known as "enlightenment" in the East? This extraordinary line-by-line commentary on some of the best-known New Testament Gospels from Matthew and John tests the hypothesis that Jesus was a mystic, not a miracle worker of supernatural origin. Osho convincingly makes the case that the stories of Jesus' life were never meant to be a factual record of history but rather are teaching parables.

Story
Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring series of talks, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. Osho is no atheist by far and not in favor of any "anti-believe" system either. "It is meditation that fulfills your inner being and takes away the vacuum that used to be filled by a great lie, God."

Here, Osho introduces listeners to this extraordinary mystic and his songs, bringing both to light in such a way as to show how they are both timeless and utterly relevant to our time. The path of love, as described by Osho and though the songs of Kabir, is a journey that seeks out and celebrates the divine that is hidden in the ordinary, the love that becomes not just a feeling one has but ultimately a state of being that one is.

In this collection of classic ghost stories from Japan, beautiful princesses turn out to be frogs, paintings come alive, deadly spectral brides haunt the living and a samurai delivers the baby of a Shinto goddess with mystical help. Here are all the phantoms and ghouls of Japanese folklore: 'rokuro-kubi', whose heads separate from their bodies at night; 'jikininki', or flesh-eating goblins; and terrifying faceless 'mujina' who haunt lonely neighbourhoods.

Osho sees Zen not as a historical spiritual tradition but as the future spirituality of a humanity that has matured to the point that people no longer need religions controlled by priesthoods and based on fearful superstitions that cripple people's innate intelligence and divide them from one another. This series of talks offers a deeper understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness.

Story
My name will mean nothing to you, but my story is a re-telling of the greatest story ever told and should mean everything to everyone. My story comes forth now because now is the promised day when satanic doubt spreads like black ink, threatening to blot out His very name, to reduce Him to nothing more than a teacher, to erase the eternal truths He taught and Lived. That cannot happen. Jesus was who He said He was. I know because I was there in the shadows of His holy footsteps. His miracles were real. I know because I am one of those miracles.

Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack.

Sri Bhagavan then went through each of them and wrote out in easy Tamil prose the gist of these works on bits of paper and answered supplementary questions put by Seshaier. ...

The ancient Indian Sanskrit epic the Rāmāyana was composed some time between the first and fifth centuries BCE. As is the case with most ancient literature firmly rooted in the oral tradition, precise dating is problematic. Traditionally attributed to the sage Valmīki, and composed in rhyming couplets, it is one of the two great Indian epics (the other being the Mahābhārata); consequently it is known and revered not just throughout the Indian subcontinent but also in South-East Asian countries as well, indeed wherever Hindu culture became established.

The Wisdom of Sri Ramakrishna
Sri Ramakrishna's insights and passionate search for meaning have intrigued me since my initial encounter about three years ago. Originating from 19th-century India, Sri Ramakrishna was a mystic who tirelessly sought a genuine connection with the divine. He immersed himself in various spiritual practices, even exploring aspects of Christianity and Islam.
For over a decade, my personal journey has mirrored Sri Ramakrishna's quest for meaning, and his wisdom appears to become more pertinent with each encounter. Paul Bazely's narration of "The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna" maintains a steady and comforting tone, gently guiding the listener through these remarkable discourses.
Highly recommended.

A Great Spiritual Treasure now in Audio
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna is an invaluable spiritual book for anyone interested in deeper spiritual understanding. It's full of wisdom that has helped many people find enlightenment. Swami Nikhilananda's famous English translation has been turned into an audiobook by Paul Bazely, which makes it even easier to understand and enjoy.
When I first heard Paul Bazely's British accent reading the book, it didn't seem to match the spiritual message. But as I listened more, I realized that Bazely's voice really brings the text to life. His clear, calm voice and expressive reading make it a pleasure to listen to, capturing the deep meaning of the book.
If you haven't heard of the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna before, I suggest listening to the whole audiobook several times. The more you listen, the more you'll feel sure that Sri Ramakrishna was really an embodiment of God. And you'll come to believe that by truly following his teachings, you can experience God in your own life.
To sum up, Paul Bazely's audiobook version of the Gospel of Ramakrishna is an amazing addition to spiritual books. Whether you're very familiar with the Gospel or just getting started with Sri Ramakrishna's teachings, this audiobook is a real gem.

Narrator has ZERO grasp of Ramakrishna’s nature
I’m more then halfway through reading the print version, but bought the audiobook to listen to on car rides. I find it unlistenable because the narrator turns Ramakrishna into a corny caricature of a holy man reminiscent if Charlton Heston’s Moses portrayal. Ramakrishna was giddy and childlike, absolutely human in nature. The narrator makes him sound like an effeminate robot feigning a cartoonish version of sublime detachment and transcendence. It’s pure projection and far from the mark. RK smoked, told dirty jokes, and was somewhat mischevious, though pure in heart and truly a paramahamsa. I love and revere Ramakrishna, but this portrayal absolutely misses the mark in transmitting his nature and energy, which very much distracts from the content and message. Fail.
