Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 21 In early November 1888, Sri Sarada Devi went on a pilgrimage to Puri. Here, she showed the utmost humility. When the priest suggested a palanquin to carry her to the temple from her house, she said: `No, you go ahead and show me the way. I shall follow you, walking behind like a helpless beggar.' She stayed in Puri for about two months. Sri Ramakrishna had asked Sarada Devi at Cossipore to live at Kamarpukur, and said: `Grow some greens, eat boiled rice and greens, and repeat Hari's name. Do not stretch out your hand to anyone even for a penny. You will not lack simple food and clothes. If you hold your hand out to anyone, remember, you will sell him you head also. If absolutely necessary, you may beg your food, but never live in anyone else's house. The devotees may welcome you in their house with great respect and affection, but never allow your own hut in Kamarpukur to fall into dispair.' She had to live at Kamarpukur in the same way as Sri Ramakrishna had told, ``on boiled rice and greens " . ----------- 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...
