Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 42 During the Durga Puja festival of 1916, Holy Mother came to Belur on the first day (Saptami) of the worship, and lived in the garden-house north of the monastery. Nearby the monks were cutting vegetables for the kitchen. At this the Mother remarked: `The boys, I see, can cut vegetables well.' And Swami Jagadananda, who was also engaged in the work, said with a smile: `Our object is to please the Great Mother, be that through spiritual practice or through cutting of vegetables.' In a reminiscent mood Holy Mother said one day: `Ah! How well I was at Belur! What a peaceful place it is! Meditation came naturally. And that is why Naren [Vivekananda] wanted to have a piece of land there.' ----------- 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...
