Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Peace...<br><br>Sri Sri Ramakrishna was born on: February 18th, 1836. This year, His Holiness's Birthday is being celebrated in many centeres on February 25th--it may be possible to partake of the celebrations next Sunday for such a great day. A link is provided that will provide more information.<br><br>Here is a story concerning His Divine Birth:<br>***********************************************<br>Khudiram, the 60 year old father of Sri Sri Ramakrishna was away on pilgrimage in Gaya, when the Lord Vishnu appeared during the night and said, "I am about to be reborn for the salvation of the world". <br><br>About the same time in Kamarpukur, his wife, Chandramani, the blessed mother of Sri Sri Ramakrishna dreamt that she had been possessed by a God. In the temple opposite her cottage, the divine image of Shiva quickened to life under her eyes. A ray of light penetrated to the depths of her being, causing Chandramani to faint. She had conceived the seed of the Lord deep in her womb. <br><br>When her husband returned home, he found his wife greatly transformed. She now spoke of hearing heard voices which told her she carried a God.<br><br>Later, this God-child, born as Gagadhar, later known as the Divine Sri Sri Ramakrishna was born to this blessed couple. The One that would bring salvation to the world in the final stages of Kali Yuga. <br>**************************************************<br>Adapted from the Book: The Life of Ramakrishna by<br>Roman Rolland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
