Swami Sibeswarananda Maharaj
Sri Ramkrishna Dev According to Hindu religious heritage, God incarnates himself as Avatára in every Age (there are four ages, namely, Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara/Dwapara Yuga and Kali Yuga) to give a new message to humanity suited to the needs of that Age. During the period of Ramakrishna Movement, Sri Ramakrishna is venerated as the Avatára of the Modern Age (Kali Yuga) which signifies that his life and teachings have opened a new avenue of salvation for mankind. The excellence of Sri Ramakrishna’s Avatárhood is that, it not only embodies the spiritual consciousness of earlier Avatáras and prophets, including those who are beyond the Hindu purview but also is in absolute harmony with all religious beliefs. In all the institutions of the Ramakrishna Order, worshipful reverence is shown to all Avatáras and the founders of all religions.
