The Trinity is:
- I. Sri Ramakrishna: His message of the harmony of religions, based on his own realizations of the truth of various religious paths, opened the way for a new era of mutual understanding among the world’s great religions. His special message was the oneness of existence and the divinity of humankind.
- Ma Sarada: She is affectionately known as Holy Mother, was at once devoted wife, spiritual companion and object of worship of Sri Ramakrishna. After the passing away of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother became the spiritual guide of the fledgling Ramakrishna Order and countless devotees. She is revered as a symbol of universal motherhood, whose wisdom and spiritual grandeur remained hidden beneath her natural veil of modesty.
- Swami Vivekananda: He was the chief monastic disciple of Sri Ramakrishna and the bearer of his message to the West. Swamiji, as he was affectionately known, introduced the liberal and universal teachings of Vedanta to the Western world at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893.
