I am hoping to procure a hisbicus bush to place in front of my door in honor of Holy Mother. Today, I must go to the store to get an onion and going to make the pumpkin curry (using canned pumpkin). It is so wonderful to see these photographs and to have the stories of Jayrambati. Mother loved living in her home village so much. These stories are a blessing.

Dear Rosemary, all her disciples have mentioned that Mother loved Jayrambati so much. And it was in these homely surroundings that her child-attitude came out most. It is said that for Mother Jayrambati was a paternal and maternal place but Calcutta was like in-laws place... so nice that you are placing hibiscus.. also plant Jasmine (Mother liked those too)... As for the pumpkin curry... I am sure it would come out wonderful... enjoy the delicacy that our grandmother liked...
