Who is Sri Sarada Devi

The affectionate term “Holy Mother” refers to Sri Sarada Devi (1853-1920), Sri Ramakrishna’s wife and spiritual counterpart. She was born in the village of Joyrambati, West Bengal. Sri Sarada Devi was a spiritual giant in her own right and yet, in her simple and unassuming way, she served Sri Ramakrishna and his disciples for many years. After Sri Ramakrishna’s passing away, she carried on his religious ministry, serving as guide and inspiration of the new spiritual movement.

Within the ambiance of her natural simplicity and modesty, she set a unique example of an ideal disciple, nun, wife, teacher, and also mother to her countless spiritual children. Those who associated with her were overwhelmed by her unconditional love and selfless service. All were her children irrespective of nationality, religious affiliation, or social position. No one was ever turned away. She accepted all.
