Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
The Mother’s Physical Features – 01

The Mother’s palms had a reddish tinge. So also the under-surface of her feet were red like a land lotus. The thick mass of her locks was flowing, smooth and glistening black, with a tendency to become curly at the end. The prominent nose on her well-proportioned face was very attractive. Her serene gaze always showered compassion wherever it was cast. Her broad and shining forehead and cheerful countenance filled one with a sense of peace and joy. Her complexion was fair with a tinge of brown. It was bright in early days, but faded towards the end. She was long-limbed, her arms and legs being slightly longer than normal of her frame. She walked slowly with a little lean towards the left.
