Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 40 From Madras she went to Bangalore, where the Ramakrishna centre was situated in a quiet neighbourhood. When the Holy Mother was there, the Ashrama was crowded with devotees. They sat silently watching her. After a short while the Mother broke the silence and said to a young swami who was seated near her: `What a pity I do not know their language! They would feel peace of mind if I could say a few words.' As her words were translated to the devotees in English, they said: `No, no. This is very nice. Our hearts are filled with joy. There is no need of spoken words.' One evening Holy Mother and one or two companions climbed a hillock at the back of the monastery to look at the sunset. As soon as Swami Ramakrishnananda heard of this, he hurried to the place, prostrated himself before her, and recited a hymn to Divine Mother addressing her as Parvati. The Mother meditated there for a while at the request of the monk in charge of the place. This hillock is now regarded by the devotees of the Mother with great veneration. ----------- 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...
