The Holy Mother and Sister Nivedita.

“What sincere devotion Nivedita had! She never considered anything too much that she might do for me. She would often come to see me at night. Once seeing that light struck my eyes, she put a shade of paper around the lamp. She would prostrate herself before me and, with great tenderness, take the dust of my feet with her handkerchief. I felt that she not even hesitated to touch my feet.”

~Sri Sarada Devi

A statue of Kali, the Dark Mother beloved in the Hindu pantheon, her name derives from both “time” and “death”. She is renowned both as a bringer of destructive forces of transformation, and as a compassionate and nurturing mother to the devotee. The shattering of illusions is her modus operandi.
