As Prof.Kripal demonstrates convincingly, Ramakrishna was really only
turned on by pure little boys whose genitals he liked to anoint with
sandal paste. This I believe was the limit of his activity with them.
Women he habitually referred to as bitches.  Sometimes he went into
samadhi in a latrine, but then he had stated that there was a route to
enlightenment via the latrine, bowdlerised by the Mission boys to back
door which is maybe more than a bit Freudian.  Bhairavi was also an
aghorini. giving him a morsel of corpse as one of the five Ms.  Note
that he also failed on the matter of wine, failing to overcome his
strictly abstinent upbringing in this matter.   Fish was no problem
because Bengalis eat that anyway, even the brahmins.   She boiled it
for him aghori fashion in a skull.
