| Swami Brahmananda |
Swami Brahmananda was the spiritual
son of Sri Ramakrishna. He was the first President of Ramakrishna Order. Swami
Vivekananda considered him as the spiritual dynamo. In his earlier incarnation he was a companion of Sri Krishna at
Brindavan.
It
is hard to understand Mother’s greatness unless she herself reveals it. Through
the grace of Sri Ramakrishna one may recognize the Divine Mother in her.

Who
can understand our Mother? Even great yogis cannot understand her, what to
speak of others. Is it the function of an ordinary being to have digested the
worship of an incarnation like Sri Ramakrishna? From this one has to understand
what a great container of power the Mother has been taking the sins and
afflictions of many people on herself, and redeeming them. Could any one else
but the Divine Mother Herself have this power?

Our
Mother is Mahamaya Herself. But such is her Maya that none can understand her.
Inside, the ocean of realization; outside, absolute calm. How ordinary and easy
she appears? Even the incarnation cannot keep under control such divine moods
and devotion. One, however, can somewhat understand Sri Ramakrishna through
some inklings. But it is extremely difficult to understand the Mother. How she
has kept all deluded with her love!
Ah,
boundless is her grace. What a yearning for the jivas? She has been herself
calling unto people, cleaning them, giving with them peace and redeeming them!
If
you want the grace of Sri Ramakrishna, first propitiate the Mother. The Mother
is the supreme Primordial Power Herself (Parama Prakriti). She holds the key of
the knowledge of Brahman in her hand. Liberation, bliss and all that are in
Mother’s keeping. There is no difference between Sri Ramakrishna and the
Mother. Through Mother’s grace attainment of liberation becomes easy.
