" I used to pray to the Mother, crying: 'Mother, if I do not find the

devotees I'll surely die. Please bring them to me immediately.' In

those days whatever desire arose in my mind would come to pass. I

planted a tulsi-grove in the Panchavati in order to practise japa and

meditation. I wanted very much to fence it around with bamboo sticks.

Soon afterwards a bundle of bamboo sticks and some string were carried

by the flood-tide of the Ganges right in front of the Panchavati. A

temple servant noticed them and joyfully told me.
