Ramakrishna was a nineteenth-century Bengali devotee of Kali, the
Hindu goddess of death and destruction. He assumed the demeanor and
dress of a woman, acted like a monkey, a child, a madman, and a
comedian at various times during his career. Using the concept of
play (lila), as both spontaneous activity and dramatic performance
on behalf of Kali, Carl Olson provides a interpretive key for
unlocking Ramakrishna's life and his often contradictory forms of
behavior. Olson places Ramakrishna in his social and historical
context, examines his relationship to women, and investigates his
status as a mystery or stranger to his contemporaries.
