So Many Paths, So Many Ways. A Ramakrishna Experiment in Faith - Joy Bose

Sri Ramakrishna claimed to have verified something extraordinary: that practicing Islam, Christianity, and multiple Hindu paths each led him to the same encounter with the divine. Joto mot, toto path. As many opinions, so many paths.

This book is an attempt, honest about its limitations, to run the same experiment. Over fifteen years, the author attended services, study circles, and retreats across fourteen traditions, from a Sufi dargah in Delhi to a Sikh langar in Manchester to a Pentecostal revival meeting in Liverpool. He did not find what Ramakrishna found. What he found instead was a sharper question: what would it actually cost to stop being a seeker and become a practitioner?

A memoir of religious encounter for the spiritually curious who go broad rather than deep.
