Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa (Ramk?i??a Pôromôhongsa ; 18 February 1836 – 16 August 1886, born Ramakrishna "Gadadhar" Chattopadhyay) was an Indian Hindu mystic and saint in 19th century Bengal.
Ramakrishna experienced spiritual ecstasies from a young age, and was influenced by several religious traditions, including devotion toward the goddess Kali, Tantra (shakta), Vaishnava (bhakti), and Advaita Vedanta.
As a priest at the Dakshineshwar Kali Temple, his mystical temperament and ecstasies gradually gained him widespread acknowledgement, attracting to him various spiritual teachers, social leaders, lay followers and eventually disciples.
Reverence and admiration for him among Bengali elites led to his chief disciple Swami Vivekananda founding the Ramakrishna Math, which provides spiritual training for monastics and householder devotees and the Ramakrishna Mission to provide charity work and education.
