"Did you know that Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's spiritual journey was significantly influenced by Bhairavi Brahmani, a revered female guru? This highlights the egalitarian essence of Sanatan Dharma, where spiritual growth knows no gender bounds, countering the misconception of it being a patriarchal society 😊."
The conversation between the Master (Ramakrishna Paramahamsa) and the Bhairavi Brahmani is a touching moment of spiritual journey. The Master shares his mystical experiences, feeling uncertain if he's going mad, while the Bhairavi consoles him, attributing his state to Mahabhava, a profound spiritual condition. She references scriptures and examples like Sri Radharani and Sri Chaitanya to reassure him
The first conversation between the Master and the Bhairavi
The Master then sat beside the Bhairavi and, like a child describing everything delightedly and with an open heart to its mother, went on narrating his extraordinary visions — the loss of his consciousness of the external world while talking on God, the burning sensation in his body, his sleeplessness, and other peculiar bodily changes, because of which he was taken to be mad. He repeatedly asked her, “Mother, what are these things that happen to me? Have I actually become mad? Have I been seized with a fell disease for calling on Mother wholeheartedly?” Listening to these words of the Master, she, like a mother, became now excited, now delighted, and with her heart melting with compassion, consoled him saying over and over again, “Who calls you mad, my child? It is not madness; you are in the state of Mahabhava and that is why all these things are happening to you. Is it given to ordinary people to understand the state you are in? In their ignorance they say what they say. All this happened to Sri Radharani and to Sri Chaitanya, the great lord. All these things are recorded in the devotional scriptures. I have got these books with me. I’ll read them out to you and prove that these states came on those who truly called on God in the past and do so at the present time too.” Hriday was simply flabbergasted to see the Bhairavi Brahmani and his uncle behave and converse with each other like close relatives, long familiar.
When afterwards the Master found that the day was far advanced, he gave the Bhairavi Brahmani, for her breakfast, fruits, roots, butter, candy, etc., all Prasada of the Devi; and knowing that the Brahmani, inspired by spiritual motherly love towards him, would not take anything whatever without first feeding him, he first partook a little of all those things. After paying her obeisance to the deities and having her breakfast, she took from the temple stores some flour, rice, etc., as Bhiksha in order to offer cooked food to the stone symbol of Raghuvir hung from her neck, and engaged herself in cooking under the Panchavati.
