Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
Events after her Passing Away – 7
Revered Rashbehari Maharaj in describing this divine radiance of the Mother’s body had said, “After a long period of illness, her body had become thin and pale. It was so when she left the body also. Under revered Sarat Maharaj’s instructions, her clothes were changed and the body was placed on a clean bed. Incense was burnt. They were all sitting at a distance steeped in sorrow, when one of them happened to notice that rays of light were emanating from the face and spreading around. At this he shouted out in excitement, ‘Look, look, the face of the Mother has become luminous!’ All the eyes were turned towards her face. They were all speechless and looked at one another, saying, ‘What is this? Whence has this effulgence come? We have never seen it before.’ The heart of everyone was filled with joy divine. They started singing songs about the Mother.”
