22 JUNE
MAA SAYINGS…
Recorded by Swami Arupananda
Disciple: Mother, sometimes I see you reading the Ramayana. When did you learn to read?
Mother: Sometimes I used to accompany the other children to the village school. There I learnt a little. Later on Lakshmi and I used to read the Bengali Primer at Kamarpukur. My nephew Hriday snatched the book away from me. He said, “Women should not learn to read and write. Are you preparing yourself in this way to read novels and dramas later on?” But Lakshmi did not give up the book. She belonged to the family; therefore she held on to her book. I too secretly had a copy bought for one anna. Lakshmi used to attend the village school. On returning home she would teach me.
Shree Maa…
(Gospel of The Holy Mother - p. 133-134)
Om Namah Sri Bhagavate Ramakrishnaya!!!
