September 9, 2015 Wednesday: Mother As I Saw Her (Being Reminiscences of Holy Mother Sarada Devi)

9-September-2015 (Wednesday)
Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Events after her Passing Away – 1

Revered Mahapurush Maharaj (swami Shivananda) was pacing up and down all by himself in a sombre mood, sometimes on the verandah of the first floor of the Belur Math facing the Ganga, and sometimes in his own room, his gaze directed towards the Shrine Room, the Ganga, Dakshineswar, Kashipur or the Udbodhan. He alone knew what was passing within him. It was still dark. When the first rays of the morning sun emerged, the old devotee Bhuvan Babu approached Mahapurush Maharaj, bowed down to him by way of Pranam, and said, “Maharaj, the Mother’s radiance is illuminating the Udbodhan. What a wonderful effulgence is emanating from her face! It would seem that she has not left us at all. Her look drives away all sorrow from one’s mind.”
