COMMENTS:
Swami Shraddhananda, Vedanta Society of Sacramento, CA: The style of Conversations is truly very simple. There is no rigidity anywhere. Closer to Bengali. I felt the Master to be more living.
Swami Ritajananda, Centre Vedantique Ramakrishna, Gretz, France: I enjoyed very much the original in Bengali and I felt very sad that this* was missing in the English translation ... You have done a wonderful job. It is easy to read and many people will delight in it in my opinion. *(... Sri Ramakrishna's sweet, simple and direct words)
Anjit Ray, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India: The work is excellent and elegant. The excellence lies in the direct communication of the Bengali words. The elegance lies in your choice of words. You have given the word-for-word English equivalent.
Swami Lokeswarananda, Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Calcutta: I'm sure people will like it. Swami Shraddhananda (see above) is a good judge of what a translation should be like. Since he says it's better ... I'm sure that's what it is.
Swami Sarvagatananda, Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA: Ramakrishna's words are 'real' not imagined by any third or fourth hand source. 'M.' had recorded in verbatim. No other Prophets are set like that.
