Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
The Mother as Saraswati – 1
A few years after this, on the Sri Panchami day, a Brahmacharin at the Belur Math went to Mahapurush Maharaj to get his blessings before he started conducting the worship of Saraswati in the image. Mahapurush Maharaj said to him in a loud voice, “The Mother is verily Saraswati herself. It is through Her grace that we have the wrship of Her daily at the Math. It is She alone who, by Her grace, removed our ignorance and bestows knowledge and devotion.” Saying, “Hail to the Mother!” “Hail to the Mother!”, Mahapurush Maharaj with his voice surcharged with devotion, directed his Pranams to the Mother with folded hands and great humility. That expression of his deep reverence for the Mother melted the hearts of all present.
