Holy Mother! I wonder…

Holy Mother!
Were you the Mother Durga, the Mother of the Universe,
Who was born as Sarada to receive the worship of Sri Ramakrishna?
I wonder.

Were you the Mother Parvati, the consort of Shiva,
Who was married to Sri Ramakrishna,
To take care of him who ever remained in samadhi?
I wonder.

Were you the Mother Sita, the daughter of the Earth,
Who appeared to Sri Ramakrishna and
Bore patiently the sufferings inflicted by your kith and kin and others?
I wonder.

Were you the Mother Saraswati, the godess of knowledge,
Who showered her blessings on Swami Vivekananda
Before his voyage to the World Parliament of Religions?
I wonder.

Were you the Mother Ganga, the redeemer of sixty thousand sons of King Sagar
Descended on the earth as Sri Sarada
To purify all who take a dip into your life and teachings?
I wonder.

Were you the Mother Anasuya, the wife of Rishi Atri,
Who transformed all the great giants like Naren, Rakhal, Sarat, Yogen, and Girish
Into little children with your motherly love?
I wonder.

Were you the Mother Mary, the solace of many,
Who was born to give peace and assurance
To Sister Nivedita and others?
I wonder.

Are you the Mother, the sum total of love of all the mothers,
Enjoying your own glories
Dwelling in the hearts of all?
I wonder.
