went from CoxBazar to have His darshan. They pleaded with Shree RamThakur,
“Thakur, Anandamayee Ma while staying here in Shahbag, Dhaka has stolen our
very heart and soul. Ma had filled our hearts with immense joy during the festi-
vals. Now we are just not able to concentrate our minds on family affairs. And
Ma too is wandering in the Himalayas and just not returning back to Dhaka.
After losing Ma we are in so much anguish, what to do?” Shree Shree RamThakur
replied, “It is for you only that Ma has installed this Annapurna and left Her-
self here forever. Ma has established Herself here by introducing Herself as
Annapurna. Accept Annapurna as Ma Anandamayee.”
Respected RamThakur always saw Ma as Bhagwati Herself and paid his
obeisance in that manner only. Ma too gave him full respect. Once Ma had
informed Shri Amulya Kumar DuttaGupta about Shree RamThakur, “One day
RamThakur arrived and did pranaam to This Body. You must have seen that
RamThakur is quite aged and a religious person. He did pranaam to This Body,
but This Body remained seated motionless. One day Pran Kumar Babu asked
This Body, ‘Ma, RamThakur did pranaam to You, but You did not reply back by
doing namaskar? No wonder what Thakur’s disciples must have thought about
You’. This Body then replied to him, ‘You go and inform everyone that the feet
of RamThakur is always on the Head of This Body’.”
As mentioned earlier, previously Ma used to stay in the house of Shri Kunj
Mohan’babu or Nirmal’babu and most of the time in hired bajraa’s while
visiting Kashi. After coming here quite a lot of religious people came to know
Ma and came for Ma’s darshan too. Gurupriya Didi and a few other devotees
were thinking of constructing an Ashram for Ma here in Kashi and hence a
search for a suitable land was also going on.
