The legend of Sri
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa -
Pranams at the lotus feet
of Thakurji!
Chapter – 25
One day there was Krishna
Goswami and few of Bhramasamj people
arrived to meet Thakurji after hearing the critical condition of him, most of them know that Krishna Goswami had the fortune to be in the association of
several pious, noble-souls and saints, he traveled whole India, while they were talking Mahim
Chakraborty asked, “ Goswamiji, what did you see?” Goswami said ‘ What would I
say? I am sitting here at this moment, and feeling this is All” Later Thakurji’s
health condition became worse, so he had taken to a house in Shyamapukur,
people were relentlessly serving him, his subtle body is leaving this
perishable body and relaxing out, there are several wounds appeared on his
back, chest and throat, he had accepted the sins of his devotees, there were
people from different walks of life kept touching him, and till now, he had
absorbed all the sins of his devotees. Thakurji
well understood that 7th or 8th August, he called his
disciple Yogin and said “bring Panchang and read Tithi's in the Shravan
month,” Yogin dutifully read the Thithis of Shravan month; he continued to read
the whole Thithi, after some time he stopped reading at the instruction of
Thakurji. It was on August 16th
1886, Thakurji was not responding well from the morning, as if his body needs a
complete rest, soon the devotees heard the heartbreaking news of Thakurji’s
demise.
Ma Saradadevi left alone
after the demise of Thakurji. In 1910
she undertook a religious trip to Orissa and continued her travel to Madras,
Madurai, Dhanushkoti and Rameshwaram. In
1911 she traveled from Bangalore and arrived in Bengal. On 21st July 1920, Ma Saradadevi
left her mortal coil.
