Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 161
The Masters Death and After – 18
At six minutes past one, after midnight, Sri Ramakrishna thrice repeated in a clear voice the name of Kali, his beloved Deity, and entered into deep samadhi from which his soul did not again return to the body. Sarada Devi stood by the bedside and cried like a bereaved child. She said as she wept: ‘Mother! O Kali! What have I done that you have departed, leaving me alone in the world?’1 (1 Many years later, Sarada Devi said to a disciple that she always looked upon the Master as Mother Kali.) But immediately she restrained herself, returned to her room, and fell into a solemn silence.
