Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Life of Sri Maa - 2 Jayarambati, the village where Sri Sarada Devi was born, lies on the southeastern border of Bankura district of West Bengal, about sixtyfive miles northwest of Calcutta. Her parents, Shyamasundari and Ramachandra Mukhapadhyaya, were a pious couple, poor, but content. One day when Shyamasundari was returning to Jayarambati from a visit to her father's house (at Sihar), she sat under a tree in a wooded spot. Suddenly she heard jingling sounds and saw a small girl coming down from the tree. Tenderly the girl clasped Shyamasundari about the neck. At once Shyamasundari fell into a swoon. She remained unconscious for a long time, and her relatives took her home. She felt that the girl had entered into her womb. Falling asleep after lunch one day, Ramachandra Mukhapadhyaya saw in a vivid dream a young girl of golden complexion and unusual beauty, tenderly encircling his neck with her arms. Noticing her precious ornaments, he asked who she was. In a musical voice she replied: `You see, I have come to your family.' ----------- Extracts from the book : Sri Sarada Devi (A biography in pictures) Advaita Ashrama, Calcutta.
