Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Dear all, Recently there has been letters concerning a vision of Sri Ramakrishna. Swami Nikhilananda who has translated the entire Gospel in English, in his 'Introduction' to the book describes this vision of Sri Ramakrishna in following words: " He had a vision of the divine Maya, the inscrutable Power of God, by which the universe is created and sustained, and into which it is finally absorbed. In this vision he saw a woman of exquisite beauty, about to become a mother, emerging from the Ganges and slowly approaching the Panchavati. Presently she gave birth to a child and began to nurse it tenderly. A moment later she assumed a terrible aspect, seized the child with her grim jaws and crushed it. Swallowing it, she re-entered the waters of the Ganges. " (page 21-22) He has earlier at page 9 described Maa Bhavatarini, worshipped at Dakshineswar Kali Temple in following words: " .......The majesty of Her posture can hardly be described. It combines the terror of destruction with the reassurance of motherly tenderness. For She is the Cosmic Power, the totality of the universe, a glorious harmony of pair of opposites. She deals out death, as She creates and preserves...... " Namaskars. -- Chetan Merani " Society does not go down because of the activities of criminals, But because of the inactivities of the good people.
