Strange Experiences of Chandradevi

 

Here at Kamarpukur, Chandradevi also had strange experiences, which are

worthy of recounting.

 

1) On the return of her husband, Khudiram, she told him about two

peculiar events. She had a strange vision in which she saw a luminous

being lying on her bed. At first she thought it was her husband, soon

realized that no human being could be luminous like that. 'Even after

waking up the thought persisted in her mind that the luminous being was

still in the bed! She could not make up her mind whether it was a dream

or in reality some form of god had revealed himself to her.

 

2) On the second occasion, Chandradevi narrated the following

experience:

 

She was talking to her friend, Dhani, in front of the temple of Jugis,

when she suddenly saw a divine light coming from the Holy image of Lord

Shiva filling the path on its way and rushed towards her in waves.

'Swiftly, before she could mention it to her friend, the effulgence

engulfed her whole being and the body'. Stunned with wonder and fear,

Chandradevi fell unconscious. Dhani thought that her friend must have

had epileptic fit. But since then had the peculiar feeling as if she was

pregnant! She told the matter to Dhani and one more friend, who brushed

off the matter in ridicule. She told her husband that still she had the

feeling that she was carrying.

[And indeed, in due course of time, Chandradevi gave birth to the Man of

God, the child of Kali, Sri Ramakrishna, on 18 February 1836.]

*

There are many such unique experiences and visions of the parents of

great souls who have incarnated as God Men on this earth. Sri Krishna,

Jesus Christ, Sri Rama, Lord Buddha, Chaitannya Mahaprabhu,

Vallabhacharya, Shankaracharya, and many more examples can be cited.

Vasudeva and Devaki both knew the divine nature of their son, Sri

Krishna, as incarnation of Lord Vishnu. His escape from the prison cell

of Kamsa to Gokul is full with mind-boggling tales. Rama was born as

the blessing of a sage and after Mother Kaushalya partook of fruit

offered by Yajna Devata. Jesus was born to Virgin Mary, and so on.
