Ramkrishna

Who is Ramakrishna, the guru of Shami Vivekananda? Was he an "Avatar" or a saint? If he is believed to be an Avatar, then who came down on earth? Was it Lord Bhishnu or some one else?

I am mentioning about Lord Vishnu here as He came down most of the time. One website says that He came down at least nine times to protect the universe from devils.

Did Ramakrishna ever mention that he was an incarnation of God? But Shami Vivekananda clearly states that Ramkrishna is an incarnation of supreme divine.

I have a plan to visit Belur Moth in Kolkata to see his place.

Ramakrishna would not have been known to the world if Vivekanand were not there. After his demise, Vivekanand explained Ramakrishna's philosophy to the world. One source says that only few hundred persons were present during Ramakrishna's funeral
