Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ramakrishna (1836-1886) is a famous nineteenth-century Indian mystic. Born as he was during a social upheaval in Bengal in particular and India in general, Ramakrishna and his movement Ramakrishna Mission played a leading role in the modern revival of Hinduism in India, and on modern Indian history. His career was an important part of the renaissance that Bengal, and later India, experienced in the 19th century. Hinduism faced a huge intellectual challenge in the 19th century, from Westerners and Indians alike. The Hindu practice of murti came under intense pressure specially in Bengal, then the center of British India, and was declared intellectually unsustainable by some intellectuals. Response to this was varied, ranging from the Young Bengal movement that denounced Hinduism and embraced Christianity or atheism, to the Brahmo movement that retained primacy of Hinduism but gave up idol worship, and to the staunch Hindu nationalism of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay.
