Sri Anandamayi Ma –

Pranams at the lotus feet of Ma !

The third phase of the marriage of this divine couple was Bholanathji, the guardian of Ma was transformed into a disciple of Ma, and he was completely devoted to her, though it was a different kind of an idea for ordinary people to envisage that man of the family follows the orders of woman.  Bholanthji was a man beyond the ego or impurities of the mind.  He sincerely carried out each and every instruction and guidance of Ma, he devotedly followed her orders to achieve the heights of spirituality, and sometimes he laughed out the command of his dear Master with extreme affection that state of mind is impossible to achieve for an ordinary soul.  Bholanathji had achieved the highest of the status in spirituality, many times Ma had revealed the truth that he himself is Lord Shiva.  During this period of time, Bholanathji’s tenure of the job was got over, he was planning to conduct the search for another job, but Ma discouraged him and asked him to wait for another three days.  Within three days, a messenger from Nawab of Shabhagh Garden Estate of Dhaka city handed a letter of the job offer, soon after that the couple moved to Shabhagh garden, Bholanathji was taken in-charge of his duty.  While working in Shabhagh garden, Bholanathji was exceptionally skilled in striking balance between official and personal life, he assisted Ma in her various spiritual and devotional practices, though it was conducted as a private affair in the initial days, later it was caught the attention of numerous people from the various parts of Dhaka.  Bholanathji was all alone making arrangements for Ma’s devotional services, in that huge crowd of visitors appeared highly devoted father-daughter duo.  It was Gurupriyadidi who caught the special attention of the divine the couple, soon Gurupriyadhidi has become a constant companion and care-taker of Ma, leaving Bholanathji with considerable time in the practice of spirituality, he meticulously followed all the prescribed rites, Bhaiji assisted Bholanathji with all the arrangements for the devotional service of Ma.   For the first time, Bholanathji organized Mathri Puja on a large scale; later years it has become a golden opportunity for ordinary people like us to achieve the grace of Universal Mother.
