Lyhyehkö, substandardi referaatti, perustuen Swami (svaamii) Nityaswarupanandan
(nitja-sva-ruupa-aananda: "ikuinen-oma-muoto-autuus"?) esipuheeseen kääntämässään
Astavakrasamhitassa (aSTaa-vakra-saMhitaa, "kasi-vänkyrän 'kokoelma'"):
Svaamii Viveekaananda oli Ramakrishnan suosikki-oppilas. SV ei kuitenkaan digannut kovin
bulisti advaita-vedaantasta. Ramakrishna kuitenkin näki hänessä monistin aineksia, joten
hän pani Viveekan lukemaan itselleen (R:lle) Ashtavakrasamhitaa'ta ääneen melko tiuhaan.
Tuolla viisiin R. huijasi V:n omaksumaan advaitan ja lopulta toteamaan että siitä tulisi
ihmiskunnan tulevaisuuden uskonto!
He (V) laid great emphasis on advaita and often declared that it would become the future
religion of mankind.

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (Bengali: শ্রীরামকৃষ্ণ পরমহংস, romanized: Ramokṛṣṇo Pôromhongśo [note 1]; 18 February 1836 – 16 August 1886),[1] born Gadadhar Chattopadhyaya,[2] (Bengali: গদাধর চট্টোপাধ্যায় [note 2]) was an Indian Hindu mystic, saint, and religious leader in 19th century Bengal.[3] Sri Ramakrishna experienced spiritual ecstasies from a young age, and was influenced by several religious traditions, including devotion toward the Goddess Kali, Tantra, Bhakti and Advaita Vedanta.[4]
As a priest at the Dakshineshwar Kali Temple, his mystical temperament and ecstasies gradually gained him widespread acknowledgement, attracting to him various spiritual teachers, social leaders, and lay followers; he eventually taught disciples, who would later form the monastic Ramakrishna Order.[5] He was generally revered by Bengali elites and within religious circles, which led to his chief disciple Swami Vivekananda founding the Ramakrishna Math, which provides spiritual training for monastics and householder devotees and the Ramakrishna Mission to provide charity, social work and education.[6]

Swami Vivekananda (Bengali: [ʃami bibekanɔndo] (About this soundlisten); 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born Narendranath Datta (Bengali: [nɔrendronatʰ dɔto]), was an Indian Hindu monk. He was a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna.[4][5]
He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world,[6][7] and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century.[8] He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of Indian nationalism as a tool to fight against the British empire in colonial India.[9] Vivekananda founded the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission.[7] He is perhaps best known for his speech which began with the words "Sisters and brothers of America ...,"[10] in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
