Disowning the Near and Dear ---Part 2

Embodiments of Love!

When I jumped up like a madman and seized [a sword], suddenly the blessed Mother revealed herself. The buildings with their different parts, the temple, and everything vanished from my sight, leaving no trace whatsoever, and instead I saw a limitless, infinite, effulgent Ocean of Consciousness. As far as the eye could see, the shining billows were madly rushing at me from all sides with a terrific noise, to swallow me up. I was caught in the rush and collapsed, unconscious … within me there was a steady flow of undiluted bliss, altogether new, and I felt the presence of the Divine Mother. 

                         --Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Do not conclude that disowning is done by wayward ordinary human beings only like ( Steve) Jobs.

There are acclaimed saintly people also.

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa is the person I am talking about;

His parents very well knew that he was mentally unstable;

As per the belief of olden times, they also concluded that celibacy was the root cause and having sex with a girl would cure his madness;

They found him a girl of 5 years, when she was not even in 1 st standard.

Just I am unable to understand as an ordinary person that what an 18 year old man will have with a 5 year old child?

SEX ? With a 5 year old, to remove a lunatic’s madness? Hey Ram!

This proves males are males; whether they are (Steve )Jobs or Sri Ramakrishna

( I can hear your voice that there are many males in India, who go and rape anything, whether it is a 3 year old child or 70 year old Grandma; we all show evolutionary modifications here !; this matter is out of our scope of discussion now)

At that time Sri Ramakrishna was at an advanced stage of madness…

You may claim that to be, divine madness;

But madness is madness;

For this I will take support from Sri Ramakrishna himself as follows:

People start thinking about the reward before they start the work itself. What people forget is that every reward – both good and bad – causes bondage. If bad reward is like being tied by an iron chain, a good reward is like being tied by a gold chain. Whether one is tied by an iron chain or a gold chain,  both are causing bondage.—Gospels of Sri Ramakrishna

Okay

Shri Ramakrishna’s mother and brother thought that a marriage would be a good steadying effect on him, by diverting his attention away from spiritual austerities and visions.^[

It is reported that Ramakrishna himself indicated Saradamani as the bride.

In May 1859, Sarada was betrothed to Ramakrishna. Sarada was 5 years old and Ramakrishna was 23; the age difference was typical for 19th century rural Bengal; but our God intoxicated man who could break many beliefs could not break this custom; was he selfish?

So Sri Ramakrishna instead of choosing a wife, adopted a child in the name of wife with 18 years Gap!

According to the customs of that time, when the child bride Sarada Devi attained the age of seventeen or eighteen, it was her duty to join her husband, Ramakrishna. She had heard rumours that her husband had become mad, and was in deep grief. She also heard reports that he had become a great religious man.

See the horror! A child when she becomes a teen at the entry gates of puberty, blossoms with lots of dreams about life; now she is simply dumped into divinity against her will; they quote that Sarada Devi used to play with dolls of Kali, which was indicative of her entry into priesthood; nonsense; even I have played God games when I was very young; what else we had before 40 years yaar…only God God God! now the child on its first birthday anniversary is gifted mobiles, loaded with computer games; if this logic is applied, then many of our children would turn terminators under Arnold Schwarzenegger, in California!

As a priest Ramakrishna performed the ritual ceremonies—the Shodashi Puja (the adoration of womenhood)—and considered Sarada Devi as the Divine Mother. Sarada Devi was made to sit in the seat of Kali, and worshiped with flowers and incense. Ramakrishna said that his view of woman as Mother was not limited to his companion Sarada Devi and he recognised the mother even in the most degraded prostitutes. The marriage was never consummated because he regarded Sarada as the Divine Mother in person.

My point is that when Sri Ramakrishna was determined to avoid sex with his wife, why did he marry her at all?

There were many devotees who just followed His words; he could have chosen any such lady to perform the Shodashi Puja (the adoration of womenhood)

It is told that Sri Ramakrishna declared his wife that he could not be a REGULAR HUSBAND to her.

It is history that, she was compulsorily made a saint.

I view this as another aggression by men against women!

Men have invented many methods to keep girls under their grip; their thirst for ruling the girls never die even after their own death; they invented a methodology in India, the horrific SATI.

Thanks to Raja Ram Mohan Roy, another illustrious Bengali; he laid the seeds for the abolishment of the practice of sati, the Hindu funeral practice in which the widow was compelled to sacrifice herself in her husband’s funeral pyre

Good God that Sarada Devi was not asked to go with Sri Ramakrishna when he died earlier to her.

What made Sri Ramakrishna to disown Sri Sarada Devi ?
