Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

SWAMI SARADESHANANDA-05

Her keen insight was truly amazing. When devotees from different regions assembled at Jayrambati, she would instruct the cook as to what should be served to whom, in what quantity, even as to the number of chapattis for each. No wonder that be fed by Mother, at Mother’s house, gave such satisfaction to her children. In the words of the Master, “Mother knows fully well what diet suits which son.”

At mealtime at Jayrambati, only after the men had been fed did the Mother feel free to have her meal, along with the women devotees. If one of her sons chanced to travel afar on some business, she would wait till he returned, no matter how late it was. She used keep looking down the road, would even advance a few steps, exclaiming, “It is so late and the child hasn’t eaten yet, how he must be suffering from hunger.”
