The Gospel of the Holy Mother

Record summary

Collections of conversations and reminiscences concerning Sarada Devi preserve accounts of her spiritual authority, protective presence, and relationships with the divine figures of the Ramakrishna tradition. As a comparison lead, the material shows how an intermediary role can be distributed between living religious teachers, deified figures, and the devotee’s interpretive community. Bibliographic identification is essential because “Gospel of the Holy Mother” is used loosely for more than one translated or compiled source. Researchers should trace Bengali originals, editors, and publication dates before analyzing individual episodes.
