Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!
SWAMI SARADESHANANDA-06
At Udbodhan, however, there was a dilemma. Mother would not eat until she had fed her sons. On the other hand, how could the intensely pious Swami Saradananda, devoted heart and soul to his Guru, eat before his Chosen Deity [i.e. Mother]? So it was arranged, that while Mother, with the women, would sit down to have her meal in one room, Sharat Maharaj would have his meal with the men in another room at the same time. Mother, brought up in a village, was accustomed to late meals; it used to be quite late before Sharat Maharaj too succeeded in disposing of the work at hand. Master’s prasad used to be served to Mother first. Hastily tasting a little of it, Mother transformed it into prasad for Sharat Maharaj, which was then served to him. His companions, of course, were fortunate enough to have their share.
