Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Mother Receiving Worship – 02
He brought them (108 lotuses) to the Mother and expressed to her the desire of his. The benevolent Mother was very well disposed towards this loyal devotee of hers. She took her seat on a carpet and accepted this worship in the way he wanted to offer it! Her blessings made the object of his human birth fulfilled! Thus sometimes, on special occasions, she would accept the special worship of some fortunate devotees of hers. And sometimes, at the insistence of some son, she would break the rule she followed about her food. Double boiled rice agreed with her and so she always used it for her meals. At Jayrambati and at Udbodhan, known also as the Mother’s house, they offer this kind of rice as offering even now. Brahmin widows do not take this rice usually.
