Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Some Public Criticism of the Mother – 01
The criticism against the Mother that “she snatches away others’ children” was often heard from the lips of this mad Mami and many others too. The Roys of Jibtey were rich landlords. The only son of a member f that family became perverted in character by association with undesirable companions in his youth. The father was very sorry for this and tried his best to correct him, but it was of no avail. One day when he lamented about it to one of his relations, the latter advised him to send the boy to the Mother at Jayrambati. The moment he heard of it, he became panicky and said, “I would rather set apart some of my property for him to squander and live in his own way than send him there!”
