Narendra was greatly influenced by Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Narendra started going there daily. Although initially Narendra did not accept his principles and arguments, in fact Ramakrishna advised to take the path of devotion. He was a devotee of Maa Kali, but with time Narendra’s spiritual inclination started towards her and eventually he accepted Ramakrishna’s method of devotion and left Brahmo Samaj.
