However, he also experimented with Christianity and Islam, and repeatedly preached the diversity of paths to God.This is the story of Ramakrishna told first-hand as a series of days and nights spent with his disciples and lay followers. This is the Victorian-era equivalent. His chief disciple, Swami Vivekananda, not only helped revive Hinduism in India, but also introduced Hinduism to the West.
