Hi,
Welcome to our youtube channel.
About this video:
Endearingly known as Holy Mother, Sri Sarada Devi, was born on Thursday, the 22nd December, 1853, in a sequestered corner of a small wayside village of Bengal named Joyrambati. It is situated in the District of Bankura and is three miles to the west of Kamarpkur where Sri Ramakrishna had already taken birth seventeen years back (i.e. in 1836). The nativity of Holy Mother who was none other than the Goddess Lakshmi, took place on the auspicious evening when the womenfolk of the village were carrying on their worship of Mother Lakshmi (the Goddess of Fortune) in their respective houses to the accompaniment of blowing of conchs.
As years rolled on, Sri Sarada grew up amidst the peaceful environs of her village home under the loving care of her parents Sri Ramchandra Mukhopadhyaya and Srimati Shyamasundari Devi who were well known for their inborn piety, large-hearted charity, devotion to truth and also for their profound sympathy for the poor and the helpless. Hardly had she reached the sixth year of her age when she was married to Sri Ramakrishna in 1859.
The Holy Mother said in later years to the devotees, When I was only eleven years old, famine broke out in this part of the country. My pious father, who had only a small stock of rice at his disposal, opened a free kitchen in the house to feed without even considering how the members of the family would make the two ends meet. I would cool the extremely hot khichuri (a kind of Indian preparation composed of rice, split pulse, spices, etc.) with the help of fans. Needless to point out, this indicates her inborn love and kindness irrespective of caste or creed.
Thank you so much.
