Explanation: As we saw above, the early reform movements in Bengal were radical, questioning and criticizing tradition very strongly.

• In response to this emerged the Ramakrishna Mission as an important religious movement.
• Ramakrishna Paramahamsa (1836–1886), a poor priest in a temple at Dakshineswar near Kolkata, had no formal education but led an intense spiritual life.
• He had a deep faith in the inherent truth of all religions and tested its belief by performing religious service in accordance with the practices of different religions.
• He expounded his views in short stories and admirable parables which were compiled by an admirer as Ramakrishna Kathamrita (The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna).
