About Ramakrishna

Ramakrishna (1836–1886) was a profound Indian mystic and spiritual figure whose teachings synthesized the core tenets of various religions, most notably Hinduism and Buddhism for Kids: Explained. He served as the priest at the Dakshineswar Kali Temple and is historically significant for his direct realization of the divine and his influence on modern Neo-Vedanta philosophy, leading to his placement at #922 in global historical importance by the Pantheon project.

His contemporary historical significance appears somewhat mismatched with modern digital interest. Ramakrishna garnered 516K Wikipedia views in 2025. This places his online attention roughly on par with his historical importance (an Attention Gap of ~1x). However, this level of attention is significantly lower than his historical counterpart, Edmond Halley (#371 importance), who only received 153K views, suggesting that a figure ranked substantially higher in historical influence is being largely overlooked in favor of Ramakrishna online.

Despite holding a strong overall digital footprint, his attention is showing signs of decline. The annualized view count has decreased by -8.4% year-over-year, and momentum between Q1 and Q3 of 2025 also dropped by -5%, indicating a slight cooling of his online presence.
