Nice coloured photo of Mother. What exquisitely shaped feet!

One of those few photographs of Maa where she has compassionately given the view of her feet for her children to offer pranaams at these Holy feet...
Jai Maa...

Re: 07-April-2012 (Saturday) Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

I am very attracted to the above, color enhanced, photograph of Holy Mother. My plan is to print and frame this photo for worship. According to my book on photgraphs, the above photo is known as #24, taken in Jayrambati in 1913 . The photographer was Brother Ganendranath. She is sitting on the veranda of her "old house".

In Photograph #28, where Mother is standing in Jayrambti with Radhu beside her, I noticed last week that Mother had a lump on the second toe of her right foot. The reason this lump called out to me is because I have a similar large lump on the same toe on the same foot. So, not seeing the lump in the above enhanced photo, I went today looking to see on Photograph # 24 (presented in Br. Satwik's post of today) and noticed that the lump appears in the original photograph. However, in further investigation today I noticed on subsequent photographs, that the lump appears on the same toe of the opposite foot. The lump is more pronounced on the right foot, the same foot that I have a large lump on the second toe (due to psoriatic arthritis).

Mother's feet are beautiful and worthy of worship. From what I understand she never wore shoes, not even when walking the long distances from Jayrambati to Calcutta.

Worshipful feet!

Interesting pumpkin/apple story too!! Mother possessed a sense of humor!!

And while reading about this Pumpkin-Wood apple story, I was reminded of Sister Rosemary...and her delicious pumpkin curry...
