19世纪末，牛津大学研究梵语、神话和宗教的学者弗里德里希·马克斯·穆勒（Friedrich Max Muller）出版了两部关于当代宗教人物——孟加拉裔印度教圣人室利·罗摩克里希纳（Sri Ramakrishna）的著作。在第二项努力中，穆勒得到了罗摩克里希纳最有影响力的弟子斯瓦米·维韦卡南达（Swami Vivekananda）的协助，他希望利用穆勒的名声将他的大师介绍给更广泛的听众。本文并没有像之前的报道那样衡量他们对罗摩克里希纳教义的忠诚或缺乏，而是将穆勒和维韦卡南达努力理解罗摩克里希纳的十九世纪后期印度教、宗教和神秘主义的思想作为主题，以便更好地理解使这种合作工作成为可能的概念和态度。
Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Oxford scholar of Sanskrit, mythology, and religion, Friedrich Max Muller, produced two works on a contemporary religious figure, the Bengali Hindu holy man Sri Ramakrishna. Muller was assisted in the second of these efforts by Ramakrishna’s most influential disciple, Swami Vivekananda, who hoped to make use of Muller’s fame to present his master to a wider audience. Rather than measuring their fidelity or lack thereof to Ramakrishna’s teachings, as previous accounts have done, this article takes as its subject matter the late nineteenth-century ideas of Hinduism, religion, and the occult which emerge from Muller’s and Vivekananda’s efforts to make sense of Ramakrishna with a view to better understanding the concepts and attitudes which made such a collaborative work possible.
