~Sri Ramakrishna and Narendra~

[Guest guest]

Namaste, beloved Family of Light!

i am posting a very powerful scene between Sri Ramakrishna and

Narendra [Who later became known as Swami Vivekananda]. This is one

of Narendra's early visits to Sri Ramakrishna. i have always felt Maa

Kali's Divine Power so strongly in this excerpt! i found

thispaticular excerpt on the web, but i know that it can be found in

the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.[and many other books, as well.]

 

Sri Ramakrishna sitting alone went into a divine mood and touched his

right foot ever so slightly to Narendra. Immediately Narendra

experienced what follows in his own words:

 

"I saw with my eyes open that all the things of the room together

with the walls were rapidly whirling and receding into an unknown

region, and my I-ness together with the whole universe was, as it

were, going to vanish in an all devouring great void. I was then

overwhelmed with terrible FEAR. I knew that the destruction of I-ness

was death, I thought that the Face of Death was before me, very near

at hand. Unable to control myself, I cried out loudly, saying, 'What

is it you have done to me?' Laughing loudly at his words, Sri

Ramakrishna touched Narendra with his hand and said, 'Let it then

cease now. It need not be done all at once. It will come to pass in

course of time.'"

Jai Ramakrishna Deva! Jai Swamiji Vivekananda!
