SRI RAMAKRISHNA

The temple authorities appointed Sri Ramakrishna as the temple priest after his brother. From that time Sri Ramakrishna’s love of God increased.

For twelve years he practised many spiritual sadhanas or ways of worshipping God.

One day he desperately wanted to see other Kali face to face. He prayed to Her, but not seeing Her, he snatched the sword from the hand of the Kali image and was about to thrust it into his body. At once he fell down unconscious.

In this state, he had a unique experience. He realised that everything in this world was filled with Kali or God.

He would often fall into meditation as when he saw a cloud or a group of birds flying in the air. He thought they were forms of God.

One evening, after puja, Sir Ramakrishna returned to his room.
