Sri Sarada Devi

Sri Sarada Devi, the Holy Mother (1853–1920)

Sri Sarada Devi affec­tion­ately known as Holy Mother, was at once devoted wife, spir­i­tual com­pan­ion and object of wor­ship of Sri Rama­kri­shna. After the pass­ing away of Sri Rama­kri­shna, Holy Mother became the spir­i­tual guide of the fledg­ling Rama­kri­shna Order and count­less devo­tees. She is revered as a sym­bol of uni­ver­sal moth­er­hood, whose wis­dom and spir­i­tual grandeur remained hid­den beneath her nat­ural veil of modesty.
