Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
The Last Days of the Mother – 3
It was in the month of Sravana, (July-August), the season of heavy rainfall, a few days before the janmashtami (birthday of Sri Krishna), the the Great Master Sri Ramakrishna left his mortal body and the world of men. When that time drew near, the Mother too, leaving her children afloat on this shoreless ocean, withdrew from the worldly scene towards the close of one night, and got into her Eternal Form. As soon as this news reached the Belur math, every one at the place, excepting the aged sadhus and those who were needed for the service of the Master ran to the Udbodhan to have a last Darsan of the Mother.
