Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

SWAMI APURVANANDA - 11

In August 1919, Ramakrishna Mission was engaged in famine relief operations in the district of Bankura. Mahapurush Maharaj wrote to me, “Two sadhus from our Math have begun famine relief operations in the Indpur area of Bankura district. One more hand is needed. Therefore, come to the Math immediately upon receiving this letter. We shall send you to Bankura for relief work.” Within just a few hours of getting the letter, I left home and set out for Belur Math taking nothing at all with me. Arriving at the Math on the third day, as soon as I offered pranam to Mahapurush Maharaj, he exclaimed with joy, “So you are here! Very good, this very night you have to leave for Bankura.”
