I have faith in my country, and especially in the youth of my country. My hope is in you. With an immense amount of feeling and enthusiasm in the blood, will come heroes who will march from one corner of the earth to the other, preaching and teaching the eternal spiritual truths of our forefathers.

Ramakrishna Parmahamsa Dev is perhaps the best known saint of nineteenth century India. He was born in a poor (and religious) Brahmin family on 1836, in the village of Kamarpukur about sixty miles northwest of Kolkata. More than a century ago, he foresaw the present world of unrest and offered a solution through his timeless message—'Jato Mat Tato Path'—advocating tolerance, unity, and inclusion.
