The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, Mahendranath Gupta's own recorded account translated into English by Swami Nikhilananda, Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, 1942, is a primary devotional text. Its strength is that it is a direct disciple's own detailed, near contemporaneous record of Ramakrishna's teachings and daily life. Its limit is that it is a devotee's own reverential account, not an independent scholarly biography, and its portrait of Ramakrishna should be read with that discipleship in mind.
