Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 14 Hriday used to treat Sarada Devi rudely now and then. Once Sri Ramakrishna gave him a warning and said: `Look here. You may insult me, but don't hurt her feelings. If He who dwells in this [indicating himself] hisses, you may somehow get by; but if He who dwells in her [meaning Sarada] hisses, no one -- not even Brahma, Vishnu or Shiva -- will be able to protect you.' Soon after, Hriday lost his job in the Kali temple because of an indiscrete action and was forbidden to enter its compound. Sri Ramakrishna was fully aware of Sarada Devi's future. Referring to her one day, he said to a woman disciple: `She is Sarasvati. She has assumed a human body to impart wisdom to men; but she has hidden her celestial beauty lest people, by looking at her, should befoul their minds with sinful thoughts.' The Master often reminded her of her future role. He gave detailed instructions about awakening the spiritual power of her future disciples. ----------- 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. 227 +91 44 8140104 --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
