          • Sri Ramakrishna: The Great Master by Swami Saradananda



          • The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna by Mahendranath Gupta



          • The Tales and Parables of Sri Ramakrishna



          • Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsopanishad by C.Rajagopalachari

          • @Rishx Yes, "Gospel of Ramakrishna" is definitely deep. The same goes for "Sri Ramakrishna: The Great Master". If you want to study his life first, go for the latter. As far as his teachings are concerned, go for "Tales and Parables of Sri Ramakrishna"

          • Its also good, perhaps read the tales and parables first - after all it is very entertaining also :-) Since the teachings are mostly non-scriptural (directly experienced) advaita by their very nature they cannot be intricate or elaborate. @Rishx
