Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Mother Receiving Worship – 03
After the Mother’s play as a human being on this earth came to an end, a temple has been built at her birth place and arrangements made for daily worship and food offering (Bhoga). On special occasions they offer special worship and Bhoga. One day the Chhota-Mami said to the worshipping monk of the Mother’s temple, “Maharaj, your worship and Bhoga are indeed fine. I like it very much. But then, why do you offer my ‘sister-in-law’ (the Holy Mother) fish? She was not taking it.” The monk laughed and said, “Well, auntie, you saw her when she was living separately from the Master. But you never had the occasion to see what she took when she was with him. Now she lives with the Master.” At this the aunt became thoughtful and went away silently.
