Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (Bangla: রামà¦à§à¦·à§à¦£ পরমহà¦à¦¸ Ramkrishno Pôromôhongsho), born Gadadhar Chattopadhyay (Bangla: à¦à¦¦à¦¾à¦§à¦° à¦à¦à§à¦à§à¦ªà¦¾à¦§à§à¦¯à¦¾à¦¯à¦¼ Gôdadhor Chôţţopaddhae), (February 18, 1836 - August 16, 1886) was one of the most important Hindu religious leaders, and is deeply revered by millions of Hindus and non-Hindus to this date as a messenger of God.
Ramakrishna concluded, after close and constant association with her, that her relationship and attitude toward him were firmly based on a divine spiritual plane.
Ramakrishna's mystical realization, classified by Hindu tradition as nirvikalpa samadhi (literally, "constant meditation", thought to be absorption in the all-encompassing Consciousness), led him to believe that various religions are various ways to reach the Absolute, and that the Ultimate Reality could never be expressed in human terms.
