Dear Jai

 

I have looked up my Hindu lunar calendar and it shows:

Sunday Friday the 25th to be the birthday of

Sri Ramakrishna (according to the calendar I have).

 

According to the Gregorian Calendar his birthday is

on 18th February.

 

If this information is wrong I hope someone on our list will

point this out to us.
