Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!
SWAMI APURVANANDA - 31
On the night she breathed her last, Holy Mother bestowed her last blessing on me, assuming a divine, effulgent form. It was 21 July 1920. I had fallen asleep as usual at night. At about half past one I had a vision of Mother in a strange manner. It was an extraordinary vision. I saw Mother in an effulgent form, looking at me tenderly. She addressed me sweetly, “Son, I am going.” I could not understand in the least what that strange vision signified. Realization dawned when I heard the heart-rending news of her passing away. Mother had given up her mortal body at Udbodhan at almost the same time as when I had had the vision.*
