This book beautifully describes the life of Holy Mother, Sri Sarada Devi, and will inspire spiritual seekers of all faiths. Holy Mother, the wife of Sri Ramakrishna, the 19th century God man of India, has been described as the Divine Mother of the Universe. “Outwardly Holy Mother lived as an average Hindu woman, devoting herself to the faithful discharge of her household duties, often unpleasant and frustrating. Inwardly she practised total non-attachment and remained undisturbed by what happened in the physical world. Never did her mind deviate from contact with God.” Written by Swami Nikhilananda, a direct disciple of Holy Mother, this 384 page book contains chapters on “What Holy Mother Taught”, “Spiritual Practices”, “Women of India”, as well as, 50 pictures. For more information about Holy Mother, visit www.ramakrishna.org.
Here in these pages is given a vivid and realistic pen-picture of a unique personality—unique because she was a nun, wife and mother at the same time. The Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, the divine yet human consort of Sri Ramakrishna, is here presented, as nowhere else, in all her rustic simplicity, which breaks the barriers of commonality by its artless naturalness inspired by a universal love which made no distinction between friend and foe, the small and the great, the ignorant and the wise, but enfolded every living being in the charming fragrance of motherliness that her personality exuded.Swami Saradeshananda, the recorder of these precious reminiscences, is a disciple-son of the Mother who had opportunities to serve her very intimately and thus hear all those conversations and witness all those small events that took place in the obscure village of Jayrambati. He has therefore drawn a pen-picture of the Mother with a wealth of details, thus giving a realistic presentation of the concept of Universal Motherhood in human terms.
The concept of God as mother is an ancient tradition of the religions of India. Here we find an explanation of what it means in the light of the teachings and lives of Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother, Sri Ramakrishna, and Swami VivekanandaTopics include: The Harmony of Opposites Respect for the Feminine The Veiled Divinity The Recovery of Faith
Culled from the original two volumes published by the Udbodhan Office as Shri Shri Mayer Katha, this book brings together five recollections of direct disciples who spent time in the presence of Sri Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother. Full of conversations with the Holy Mother, the reader cannot help but feel present with the disciples as they describe their encounters with her. Contributors include: Swami Arupananda, Sarayubala Devi, Pravrajika Bharatiprana, A Devotee, and Swami Ishanananda.. A biographical introduction by Swami Nikhilananda is included.
