With this invocation, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa awakened the dormant Primordial Energy (Adya Shakti) within Sri Sarada Devi, his divine consort. It was performed on the new moon night of Phalaharini Kali Puja -5 June, 1872 in
Sri Ramakrishna's room at Dakshineswar. This is a unique phenomenon in the recorded history of mankind. A great prophet of the modern age, at the culmination of his spiritual practices, offered its fruit at the feet of his young wife,
seen as the manifestation of the Mother of the Universe. This event released a chain of momentous consequences. With the awakening of Adya Shakti in Sri Sarada Devi, THE HOLY MOTHER came into being ushering in a new era. For more details visit : www.srisaradamath.org | |

SISTER NIVEDITAThe story of Ramakrishna Paramhansa's life is a story of religion in practice. His life enables us to see God face to face. No one can read the story of his life without being convinced that God alone is real and that all else is an illusion. Ramakrishna was a living embodiment of godliness. His saying are not those of mere learned man but they are pages from the Book of life. They are the revelations of his own experiences. They , therefore, leave on the reader an impression which he cannot resist.In this age of scepticism Ramakrishna presents an example of a bright and living faith which gives solace to thousands of men & women who would otherwise have remained without spiritual light. Ramakrishna's life was an object-lesson in Ahimsa(non-injury). His love knew no limits, geographical or otherwise. May his divine love be an inspiration to all...... - M.K.Gandhi.For further reading visit : www.sriramakrishnamath.org |  |

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
SISTER NIVEDITA|
Vivekananda was energy personified, and action was his message to men. For him, as for Beethoven, it was the root of all the virtues..... It was impossible to imagine him in the second place. Wherever he went he was the first..... Everybody recognised in him at sight the leader, the anointed of God, the man marked with the stamp of the power to command. A traveller who crossed his path in the Himalayas without knowing who he was, stopped in amazement, and cried, 'Shiva!....'It was as if his chosen God had imprinted His name upon his forehead....... He was less than forty years of age when the athlete lay stretched upon the pyre..... But the flame of that pyre is still alight today. From his ashes, like those of the phoenix of old, has sprung anew the conscience of India--the magic bird--faith in her unity and in the Great Message, brooded over from Vedic times by the dreaming spirit of his ancient race--the message for which it must render account to the rest of mankind. - Romain Rolland.For further reading visit : www.advaitaonline.com |  |

SRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMHANSA

Swami Vivekananda felt keenly that there was no chance for the welfare of the country unless the condition of women was improved, just as he used to say, "It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing." So he paid great attention to the uplift of women in India in his scheme for the regeneration of the nation. At that time he could not find any woman in this country who could shoulder this responsilibity and so his choice fell upon Sister Nivedita, then Miss Margaret E.Noble. He wrote to her, "Let me tell you frankly that I am now convinced that you have a great future in the work for India. What was wanted was not a man but a woman, a real lioness, to work for the Indians, women especially." Sister Nivedita responded to this call of her Guru and fulfilled his expectations to the letter and spirit by her life and work. For further reading visit : www.advaitaonline.com |  |
