Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 5 Sarada, when two years old, was taken by her relatives to the neighbouring village of Sihar, the birthplace of Ramakrishna's nephew Hriday, to witness a religious festival. Ramakrishna too was present. As often happens on such occasion, some of the women teasingly asked Sarada whom among the boys she would like to marry. With one of her tiny fingers she pointed at Sri Ramakrishna. At this, all burst out laughing saying that she wanted to marry the mad boy. The marriage took place in May 1859. Ramakrishna was twentythree, Sarada was five. It was more in the nature of a betrothal. Soon after, Ramakrishna returned to Dakshineswar and resumed his spiritual practices. Sarada would spend short periods at Kamarpukur, during her husband's absence. ----------- Extracts from the book : Sri Sarada Devi (A biography in pictures) Advaita Ashrama, Calcutta (http://www.advaitaonline.com/). -- --------------- Email: gokulmuthu Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ Phone: +91 80 6689904, 6689938, 6780026-9 +91 80 2384190-3 Ext. 226 +91 44 8140104 --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
