Question: I am a devotee of Sri Ramakrishna math. Recently I started reading holy mother’s biography. I have a doubt in it. Holy mother told,” in her childhood she used to see a girl who looks like a holy mother and she helped the mother in her activities.” Who is that twin girl? Is she a illusion or it is mystery to understand. I have read the same incident in Swamiji life also. During the period of his spiritual practices he also used to see a twin. As the same in holy mother’s Kamarpukur days she used to see 8 girls while going out at the early morning from home.
I didn’t get any explanations for these incidents in their biography. How do we regard these incidents? Can we have scientific explanations for these things?
Kindly clear the doubts.
Answer: We are happy to hear that you are sincerely studying the life of Sri Sarada Devi.
The girl who used to attend on Holy Mother was the companion of Divine Mother. It is said that Divine Mother Lakshmi has Ashta Sakis. Those Ashta Sakis use to appear and when Holy Mother required. This only confirms Sri Ramakrishna’s statement that Sri Sarada Devi is none other than incarnation of Lakshmi Herself.
These are not matters to prove scientifically. It is a matter of absolute faith. The only scientific explanation is Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Sarada Devi had experienced it. And there is no reason for them to lie in these matters, the devotees who have absolute faith also experiences such things.
