Title: titilating but totally flawed scholarship
Product review: The author presupposes first and then manufactures evidence.A classic example of the pursuit of the exotic under the guise of scholarship that has come to personify much of work in the West regarding Hinduism. However, it makes "interesting" reading for someone (like myself) who many many years ago spent 8 years as a student in Ramkrishna Mission educational institutions. This book is worthless to anyone seeking an introduction to Ramakrishna's life or his ideas.
