Under the British Empire,
in Sri Ramakrishna
He again incarnated,
the illiterate monk who saw God,
the Prophet of Harmony among Religions,
the Avatar of the new age,
the one for whom women,
were the image of the Goddess Kali,
the one for whom religion is realization
Prophet
And Sri Ramakrishna said:
At night you see many stars,
but not when the sun is awake.
Can you say that there are no stars during the day?
Oh man, you cannot say that there is no God,
because you cannot find Him,
in the days of your ignorance
Eve
When his disciple Swami Vivekananda met him,
he asked him:
"Master, have you seen God?”
Prophet
And Sri Ramakrishna said:
“Yes, I see God as I see you here,
but much more intensely.
One can Know Him, See Him and Talk to Him,
as I am seeing you and talking to you,
but who cares?
They shed torrents of tears,
for wives, children or wealth,
but who cries for God?
Surely God manifests Himself,
to whomever cries for Him”.
Eve
For years he searched for God through Hinduism,
uniting dualists and non-dualists;
the God with multiple forms and names,
and the God without form or name.
the oneness of Sanatana
Dharma he achieved.
He searched for God through other paths,
Christianity, Islam and Buddhism.
Prophet
And Sri Ramakrishna said:
“The same God revealed himself to me,
incarnated in Christ,
speaking through Mohammed,
as Vishnu the Preserver,
or Shiva the Consummator”.

And the path of harmony between religions taught us.
Prophet
And Sri Ramakrishna said:
“The Savior is God's messenger;
wherever in the world,
where religion declines,
God sends him.
It is the same and only Savior who,
having immersed himself in the ocean of life,
arises in one place and is known as Krishna,
and, having immersed himself again,
appears in another place as Christ.
Everyone should follow their own religion.
So many paths, so many religions
