Ramakrishna's Samadhi (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ramakrishna's sam dhi was an ecstasy- or trance-like state that Indian mystic Ramakrishna entered several times a day, over a period of many years till his death. During his trances, Ramakrishna became unconscious and sat in a fixed position for a short time, or for hours, and would then slowly return to consciousness. When he was in this condition, doctors could find no trace of pulse or heart beat. It is also said that he already had the power of inducing sam dhi in others. Some claimed that these recurrent trances left his body extraordinarily sensitive and delicate.
