About Ramakrishna
Born Ramakrishna Chattopadhyay, Ramakrishna was an Indian Hindu mystic who worshipped the goddess Kali. He practiced Vaishnavism, Tantric Shaktism, Advaita Vedanta, as well as Christianity and Sufi Islam. His teachings used parables to stress that all religions are many paths to the same goal, and his followers consider him an avatar.
![“Different people call on [God] by different names: some as Allah, some as God, and others as Krishna, Siva, and Brahman. It is like the water in a lake. Some drink it at one place and call it 'jal', others at another place and call it 'pani', and still others at a third place and call it 'water'…” quote by Ramakrishna](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/23c/ramakrishna-2451_allah_different-people-call-on-god-by-differen_1379769.jpg)
