Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Other Examples of the Mother’s Grace – 01
With regard to people who had previous initiation from their family Gurus, the Mother no doubt gave initiation again as in the above case, but she always impressed on such disciples that they should continue to respect their family Gurus, and give them the customary gifts that they were till then giving. The Mother always acted according to the rules and regulations of the society and had a great respect for scriptures and scriptural injunctions. She was always respectful in her behaviour towards the family preceptor and the Pandas who acted as priests and guides for the pilgrims. She would always offer to them their rightful gifts and the Pranamis (the offerings made when making Pranams).
