Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi - Udbodhan Shrine Photo - Kolkata

This profound image depicts Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, the spiritual consort of Sri Ramakrishna and the Divine Mother to countless devotees, associated with the Udbodhan Shrine. Udbodhan House in Baghbazar, Kolkata, affectionately known as 'Mayerbari,' was built for her by Swami Saradananda and served as her longest city residence. Here, she continually guided monastic and lay disciples, offering silent support to the nascent Ramakrishna Movement. The Udbodhan Shrine within this sacred home is where her presence and teachings are remembered and revered. This photograph captures her serene and compassionate gaze, embodying her universal mother-heart that embraced all without distinction. It serves as a focal point for meditation and devotion, reminding us of her practical yet profound spiritual guidance that harmonized high ideals with everyday life.
