Educated as a school teacher, Gupta is best known for meticulously chronicling the conversations and activities of his spiritual guru, Sri Ramakrishna, over the course of several years. His magnum opus, 'The Gospel of Ramakrishna,' published at the turn of the 20th century, is a masterful compilation of the profound teachings and parables of Ramakrishna, one of the leading spiritual figures in India. The work is renowned for its authenticity and detailed portrayal of the saint's life, making it a principal text in the study of Ramakrishna's philosophy and the religious movements he inspired.
