۰ لي، د ۰ Swami Abhedananda Belur Math, now at New York, says:– I think your Bengali edition of Sri Sri Ramkrishna Kathamrita is persect. Mr. N. Ghosh in the Indian Nation, 19th May 1902 says— Ramkrishna Kathamrita by M. Part I. is a work of singular value and interest. * He has done a kind of work which no Bengali had ever done before, which, so far as we are aware, no native of India had ever done. It has been *done only once in history, namely by Boswell. • But then the immortal biography is only the life of a scholar and a kindhearted man. This Kathamrita, on the other hand, is the record of the sayings of a Saint. What is the wit or even the worldly wisdom of the great Doctor by the side of the Divine teachings of a genuine Devotee P Its value is immense. We Say nothing of the sayings themselves—for the character of the teacher and the teaching is well-known. They take us straight to the truth and not through any metaphysical maze. Their style is Biblical in simplicity. What a treasure would have been to the world is all the sayings of Sree Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mahomet, Nanak and Chaitanya could have been thus preserved - * শ্ৰীশ্রীরামকৃষ্ণকথামৃত বঙ্গভাষায় এক অমূল্য জিনিষ। "ম’ ভিন্ন এই অমৃত আর কাহারও ভাণ্ডারে নাই। আমাদের বিশ্বাস, এই গ্রন্থ ঘরে ঘরে পঠিত হইবে । নব্যভারত ১৩-৮ চৈত্র। শ্ৰীশ্ৰীরামকৃষ্ণকথামৃত বস্তুতই অমৃতের নিধি। সঞ্জীবনী,৪ঠা বৈশাখ,১৩০৯। প্রকাশক, শ্রীপ্রভাশচন্দ্র গুপ্ত | কলিকাতা, ১৩২ গুরুপ্রসাদ চৌধুরীর গলি । த_: PRINTED BY K.
