Life of Sri Maa - 29

 

Swami Saradananda built a permanent house for Holy Mother in Calcutta.

This is the Udbodhan House, named after the Bengali monthly magazine conducted

by the Ramakrishna Math. It is appropriately called Mayerbati or " Mother's

House " , where she spent the longest period of her life outside Jayrambati.

The ground floor was used for the publication of the magazine Udbodhan. Holy

Mother and her party used the first floor. Swami Saradananda at first used the

small room on the left entrance as his office, workroom, and bedroom. Later,

in the remodelled house, he slept on the first floor, in the east of the

shrine. The Swami stationed himself in his office as the Mother's doorkeeper,

keeping close watch on everyone who entered the house.

I think you should start a series of messages on Life of Sri Ramkrishna too,

for people like me, who have not read much about the life of this great

saint.

Swami Vivekananda:

They alone live, who live for others;

the rest are more dead than alive.
