I WAS STANDING NAKED IN FRONT OF THE THAKUR TEMPLE AND CRYING

[Guest guest]

Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma!

 

 

 

It is the 20th of November, 1929, the 4th day of Agrahayan, 1336 Bengali Year.

Antevasi and the Elder Jiten have come to see M. who is not keeping well.

 

 

 

M.-- 'I see that I am forgetting name and form. I can't remember the name of an

 

individual.

 

But all the incidents of childhood are coming to the mind--going out with my

mother,

 

going to school, so on and so forth.

 

Once I went with my mother to my maternal uncle's house in Rishra. From there I

 

had the darshan of Jagannath in Maheswar. Then we came to the Kali Temple in

 

Dakshineswar. I was about four years old. I was standing naked in front of the

 

Thakur Temple and crying. Mother and others had gone to see the other temples.

 

I heard people saying : 'This is the Kali Temple of Rani Rasmani'. An

individual

 

came and comforted me. Maybe it was Thakur, who knows? Thakur was

 

employed then in the Kali Temple in 1858. He was practicing hard tapasya.

 

Twenty-four years after it I met him.

 

 

 

When I had the darshan of Thakur I realized what need is there for so many

Maths

 

and temples.

 

 

 

On seeing him, I completely forgot my past life. It is all coming back to

memory

 

now. His towering personality was like a sacred halo.. He made me forget all.

 

During my five years with him I had no thought but of him."
