Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

SWAMI SHIVANANDA - 10

Mother herself is Saraswati incarnate. By her grace, she is worshipped regularly in our Math. She dispels ignorance out of compassion and bestows knowledge and devotion to us.

Our Mother is not an ordinary mortal; she is the consort of the greatest incarnation of all times, participating in his divine play. She assumed the human form to foster it [the Master’s divine play]. The same Mother had accompanied Ramachandra, Krishna, Buddha, Chaitanya – all of them. But who can know her? She kept herself veiled as an ordinary housewife. Unless she out of compassion reveals herself, who can know her? Their coming marks the good fortune of mankind, but it is also the misfortune of mankind that only a rare few recognize her. To this day Gora Rai is engaged in that divine play. It is visible only to a few fortunate ones. Master and Mother are known to only those having the insight to do so.
