Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 083
Awakening of Divinity – 17
During Sarada Devi’s visit to Jayrambati, some time in the early part of 1877, Shyamasundari was bidden in a dream by the Goddess Jagaddhatri, a manifestation of the Divine Mother of the Universe, to introduce Her worship in the family. From then on it became an annual affair, and Sarada Devi gave whatever assistance she could for the performance of the worship.
When Sarada Devi returned to Dakshineswar in March 1881 from her fifth visit to her native village, she stayed there only a day. She was accompanied by her mother, Lakshmi, and several neighbours. The moment they arrived, Hriday, for some unknown reason, treated them very rudely. Sri Ramakrishna, afraid to annoy him, kept silent. Shyamasundari said: ‘With whom shall I leave my daughter alone? Let us all return home.’ Sarada Devi, as she took her leave, said, addressing Mother Kali: ‘Mother, if you bring me here again, I shall come.’
