Sri Sarada Devi

At whatever point I went there alone I remained outside the edge, however, on this event the Master brought me into the Sanctum sanctorum and demonstrated to me the substance of Lord Shiva, who was obviously lying on his back while Kali remained over Him. His face was not unmistakable from outside the place of worship, where one could just observe the highest point of His head. The Master stated, "Look, here is the living Shiva." I felt that Lord Shiva was cognizant and relaxing. I was shocked. How strong were the Master's words! Up to that time I had suspected that this picture was much the same as the various Shiva pictures I had seen.
