Sarada Devi
"I tell you one thing. If you want peace
of mind, do not find fault with others.
Rather learn to see your own faults.
Learn to make the whole world your
own. No one is a stranger, my child;
this whole world is your own." ~
Sarada Devi
29 December 1853 – 21 July 1920
Was the spiritual-wife and spiritual
nineteenth-century Hindu mystic
and saint.
Sarada Devi is also reverentially
addressed as the Holy Mother
(Sri Sri Maa ) by the followers of
the Sri Ramakrishna monastic order.
Sri Sarada Devi or Sri Sri Maa is one
of the notable woman saints and mystics
of the nineteenth century. She paved
the way for the future generation of
women to take up monasticity as the
means and end of life. In fact the Sri
Sarada Math and Ramakrishna
Sarada Mission situated at
Dakshineshwar is based on the
ideals and life of Sri Sri Maa. Sri
Sarada Devi played an important
role in the growth
of the Ramakrishna Movement.
Sri Sarada Devi was born in Joyrambati.
At the age of five she was betrothed
to Sri Ramakrishna, whom she joined
at Dakshineswar Kali temple when she
was in her late teens. According to her
biographers, both lived lives of unbroken
continence, showing the ideals of a
householder and of the monastic
ways of life.
After Sri Ramakrishna's death,
Maa Sarada Devi stayed most
of the time either at Joyrambati
or at the Udbodhan office, Calcutta.
The disciples of Sri Ramakrishna
regarded her as their own mother,
and after their guru's death looked
to her for advice and encouragement.
The followers of the Ramakrishna
movement and a large section of
devotees across the world worship
Sri Sri Maa Sarada Devi as an
incarnationof the Adi Parashakti
or the Divine Mother.
Sister Nivedita - born Margaret
Elizabeth Noble (1867-1911) was
an Irish teacher, author, social activist,
school founder and disciple of
Swami Vivekananda. She spent
her childhood and early youth in
Ireland. From her father, a college
professor, she learned the ideal of
service to mankind as the true
service to God.
She worked as a school teacher and
later also opened a school.
Authors Note: Sri Ramakrishna gradually
led Sarada Devi in the spiritual path
and when he died at an early age, she
became the chalice where Sri Ramakrishna
had transferred his wisdom. He also
did a transmission of knowledge to
Swami Vivekandanda. Sri Ramakrishna
was a truly extraodinary master of
many spiritualpaths - much in the
tradition of Sri Ananda Mayi Ma.
