Holy Mother By Swami Nikhilananda: 244
Chapter 11 – Radhu : 05
But as Radhu grew up, her body and mind gradually changed. Physically she turned out to be a valetudinarian and mentally a moron. She became eccentric, petulant, and intractable. She not only disobeyed Holy Mother at every turn but abused her, cursed her, and, in short, treated her in such a way as would have exhausted the patience of any other human being.
At the age of twelve, on June 10, 1911, Radhu was married to Manmatha Chatterjee, a young man of fifteen. The bridegroom came from a rather well-to-do family of a neighbouring village, but was a good-for-nothing fellow. Swami Saradananda spent money without stint for the marriage. Radhu was bedecked with gold and silver ornaments from head to foot. The party of the bridegroom and the people of Jayrambati were entertained with a sumptuous feast.
