Swami Brahmananda [a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna] whenever entered any shrine he would be filled with ecstatic devotion for the particular aspect of God to which that temple was dedicated. And ultimately he would have direct vision of the living deity within the temple. In later years, when Maharaj was asked by a disciple if the gods and goddess are real, he answered:
"The one Godhead has many spiritual forms. All these forms are real. A seer can see them and talk to them."
