Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 057

First Visit to Dakshineswar – 05

Soon Sarada fell into a deep sleep. Next morning her temperature was normal. She felt refreshed and the vision brought back her lost enthusiasm. Her father said that it would not be wise to stay alone very long in an unknown place, and proposed to start immediately. Sarada cheerfully agreed. After they walked some distance a palanquin was found. On the road she had another attack of fever, but it was a mild one and she kept it secret from her father. At last they reached their journey’s end. The last part of the trip was made on the Ganges in a country boat.

The party arrived at Dakshineswar at nine o’clock in the evening. As Sarada was alighting from the boat, she heard Sri Ramakrishna saying to Hriday from his porch on the river: ‘This is her first visit. I hope the hour is auspicious.’ These first words of the Master, laden with tenderness, encouraged Sarada to go straight into her husband’s room. Her companions went to their respective lodgings.
