Swami Nirmalananda: The Unique Apostle of Sri Ramakrishna

Swami Nirmalananda (1863-1938), who is fondly called Tulasi Maharaj, is a Direct Disciple and an Apostle of Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886). He toiled tirelessly under the inspiring of Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) in building up and nurturing the Ramakrishna Movement in its early formative periods.

The Ramakrishna Vedanta Movement in general and Kerala in particular, owe a great deal to Swami Nirmalananda for bringing the Gospel of Practical Vedanta to them.
