Near the end of his life, Devendranath Mazumdar composed the beautiful hymn of eight stanzas on Sri Ramakrishna as the Guru beginning with the line ‘Bhava-sagara’…and ending with ‘Gurudeva daya-kara dina jane’. Hearing it Swami Brahmananda commented, “Devendra composed that song while absorbed in a high plane of consciousness, beyond the reach of ordinary people.”
