Re: 20-March-2012 (Tuesday) Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

Thank you again, Satwik for the fascinating story. I have been watching the pilgrimage video every night, sometimes more than once, and seeing your image of Mother reminded me that the 4 armed Goddess has some significance to Mother. I will watch again and see if I can catch the glimpse.

Yours ever,

Re: 20-March-2012 (Tuesday) Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

Thank you very, very much, dear Brother!!

Here is what I am remembering about the 4 handed Goddess:

"The Bhanu Pishi House was the ancestral residence of Bhanu pishi ('aunt'), a companion of the young Sarada Devi, the spouse of the venerable Sri Ramakrishna of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission fame. It is said that Bhanu once saw a four-armed goddess in Ma Sarada Devi. The site of House is just outside the Ramakrishna Math and Mission complex in the village of Jayrambati, Bankura. Jayramba"

"...The ancestral house of Bhanu Pisi stood very near the Matri-Mandir (Mother’s Temple). She looked upon Holy Mother as Goddess Herself. In younger days Holy Mother often visited her for peace and solace when the villagers rumoured Sri Ramkrishna as her lunatic husband."

Jai Ma!!
