Ramakrishna Jayanti is celebrated every year on the first day of the Hindu month of Kartik. This is a time for reflection on the mahatma's life and teachings. Ramakrishna Jayanti is an annual event that celebrates the life and work of Ramakrishna.
The revered Indian saint and spiritual leader Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa held the view that only complete devotion to God can elevate mankind. He was himself affected by various religious practices and at a very young age turned into a follower of Goddess Kali. Ramakrishna was born on Dwitiya tithi in the Shukla Paksha of the Phalguna month, according to the Hindu calendar. His birth anniversary is observed on this day each year. Ramakrishna impacted many people through his work, including Dr. William Hastie, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Keshab Chandra Sen, and Swami Dayananda Saraswati (Principal of the Scottish Church College, Kolkata).
In the 19th century, Ramakrishna (1836–1886 C.E.) was a well-known saint in India. He was born on February 18, 1836, into a Brahmin family in the Indian village of Kamarpukur's Hooghly district who were both extremely poor and fervently religious. He was ordained as a priest at the Kali goddess' temple in Dakshineswar. Among his followers, he is well-known under the name Ramakrishna Paramahansa. He went by the full name Gadadhar Chattopadhyay.
His wife, Sarada Devi, later evolved into his spiritual mate. His well-known pupil Swami Vivekananda was one among them. Swami Vivekananda established Ramakrishna Math in memory of his Guru, which promotes the Ramakrishna Movement, a spiritual movement, around the world. Ramakrishna Math and Mission's administrative center is located in Belur Math.
Shri Ramakrishna was born in 1892 on Dwitiya, Phalguna, Shukla Paksha, and Vikram Samvat of the Hindu lunar calendar. Every year, all Ramakrishna Maths commemorate Ramakrishna's birth anniversary using the Hindu lunar calendar.
For devotees of Ramakrishna Paramahansa, a revered Indian saint of the 19th century, Ramakrishna Jayanti is a day of immense significance and importance that is commemorated with fervour and devotion. People might use the occasion to think back on his life and his teachings and to be inspired by his message of spiritual peace and all-inclusive love.

• Renunciation and discrimination are natural skills that one learns via love.
• All men contain God, yet not all men contain God; this is why we experience suffering.
• Don't go west if you want to get east.
• Without dedication or love for God, work is powerless and unable to stand on its own.
• If you must be crazy, don't do it for worldly things. Be furious with God's love.
• One cannot find God, Who is the soul of truth unless one consistently tells the truth.
• The bees show up uninvited when the flower blooms.
• The route of telling the truth must always be taken. Speaking the truth allows one to experience God's presence.
• The idea holds that reality and fiction coexist in the world. Always choose the truth over fiction and throw out the fiction.
• Although holy scriptures contain many wise sayings, simply reading them does not make one a believer. The wise advice should be put into practice on a daily basis.
