Guest guest Posted September 28, 1999 Report Share Posted September 28, 1999 Namaste, I am currently reading the life history of Swami Bramhananda, who is one of the main direct disciple of GURU Ramakrishna. I thought it will be nice if i can share with you what i read. So I will be posting some of the events in his life. The book i am reading is in my native language (Tamil), so I am translating it on my own and posting it. So if anything is misinterpreted or misquoted by me, please correct me. -------- Swami Bramhananda was born in a village called sikra near calcutta on 21st January 1863. His father's name is Anand Mohan Ghosh and his mother's name was Kailash Kamini. Kailash Kamini was a great devotee of Lord Krishna. So she named her son as " Rakkal " which means one who looks after goats. (Rakkal was the name of one of the boy who along with krishna in Brindavan looked after goats). When Rakkal was five years old, his mother died. Rakkal was very much interested in playing with other children. He particularly liked building temples with clay. He would build an idol of Lakshmi with clay and would pray her along with other children. He observed all the rituals during the festivals with great concentration and would become totally immersed in it. His thoughts would be about Lokamatha, the mother of this universe. ---- M.Magesh 876, 14th Cross, DSP group Indira Nagar II stage MIEL Bangalore 560 038 phone 5598615-2108 email : mmagesh ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
