I believe that the guidance, example, and vision of Ramakrishna are essential to human survival for linked reasons. They unfold a uniquely rich understanding of the power and splendor of the Divine Mother, of her all-transforming grace, and of the unity in her complete love and knowledge of all religions and mystical revelations. . . . Ramakrishna is the pioneer of the real New Age, when living divine children are nurtured by the Motherhood of God.
