The activities of the Samiti are inspired by the life and message of the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, the Divine consort of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. "I am the mother of the wicked, and I am the mother of the virtuous. Never fear. Whenever you are in distress, just say to yourself, ‘I have a mother’.” .........Sri Sarada Devi. |
