Now, I tell the tale of Sarajubala Devi, who was practically Sri Sarada Devi's right hand. The spiritual bond between the guru and disciple is a welcome addition to the cause of motivating women toward spiritual liberation.
Through Her Eyes
Sarajubala was born into a wealthy family in Kamarpukur, the birthplace of the great sage Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa. Her family was deeply spiritual and devoted to the divine, which inspired her on that path.
Nonetheless, as a woman in a patriarchal society, Sarajubala faced obstacles that often made her feel lonely in her spiritual pursuits. This was when she met her guru, Sarada Devi, who encouraged her to stay put and fight for herself and the cause of women's spiritual freedom.
Eventually, Sarajubala became a key player in spreading awareness about the need for spiritual growth in women. Besides, much of what we know about Sarada Devi is through the eyes of Sarajubala, thanks to all the meticulous notes she made during their meetings.
