Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Namaste: I sent Swami the story of Ramakrishna's vision of the woman rising out of the Ganga, bearing a child, turning ugly, and devouring the child. Here is is response about the meaning of the vision: SWAMI WROTE: All that is created dissolves in time. No thing will be spared. Realizing this, devotees should live every moment filled with the Love of God.
