MAA SAYINGS…
Recorded by Swami Arupananda
After this I returned to Jayrambati. The village people were saying all sorts of things about the Maste – that he was insane, had gone fully mad, was wandering about naked, and so on. None could, understand then the state of his mind. When all people talked thus, I told myself, ‘Let me go and see him’. An opportunity soon came. Many women of the neighborhood were going to Calcutta for the holy dip in the Ganga on an auspicious day which was near at hand. (According to some, the occasion was Dol Purnima which fell on 25th March, 1872. According to others, it was Caitra-sankranti which came a month later.) I told a friend, “I shall go to Dakshineswar to see him,” and she communicated everything to my father. I, of course, could not speak of this to my father, because of fear and bashfulness.
