“She (Rani Rasmani) had the installation of the Divine Mother performed with great pomp in this new temple on Thursday, May 31 A.D. 1855, the day of the Snanayatra. It is said that on that occasion the temple was continuously filled day and night with the noise and bustle of feast and festivities… There flowed a current of bliss in the temple on that day on account of the performance of the Yatra, the singing of the glory of Kali, the reading of the Bhagavata and of the Ramayana, and so on. There was no cessation of that current of bliss even during the night. The Master used to say, ‘Going around the temple, one felt that the Rani had brought the silver mountain and placed it there.’
(p.138, Sri Ramakrishna The Great Master Vol.1)
“Thinking ”I am body,” I become identified with the body. Then why should I not be the atman if I think ”I am the Atman, I am the Atman”? The cause of our suffering is the acceptance of untruth as truth. If we could know the truth as truth, then all of our misery would go away and happiness would come to us. To experience the Truth, one needs long practice with infinite patience. Patience and renunciation are the main supports. If one has steadfast devotion, everything becomes easy by God’s grace.”
(p.218, Spiritual Treasures, Swami Turiyananda’s letter to Sw. Atulananda dated 31 May 1920)
