Divine Mother Sree Tara Devi was a fully illumined
personage Herself. Born on 20th July 1930 at Mangalore
in the same family which gave birth to Mother Sree Rama
Devi. Sree Tara Devi too revealed Her spiritual greatness
from Her very childhood. at the age of 13, by a mere
touch of the great Guru Sree Rama Devi, She passed through
different stages of Samadhi, had the vision of all the
Divine abodes and also the vision of Lord Sree Krishna.
Ultimately she attained the highest peak of spirituality,
the Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Sree Tara Devi was a veritable glow of divinity and
divine love. From the position of a humble and self-effacing
discipleship, She rose to the venerable Guruhood in
all the glory of spiritual power and all the sweetness
of motherly love. Her voice, Bhava and even physical
features underwent a wonderful metamorphosis and she
emerged into the very likeness of Her Guru. In a sense,
Tara Devi disappeared in Rama Devi and Rama Devi reappeared
in Tara Devi. The divine ministry of Mother continued
with unabated vigour and zeal.
Mother Tara Devi's ministry was very short, just two
years from the point of view of time. But in this short
period, She compressed the events and achievements of
a hundred years. Innumerable souls were drawn into the
orbit of Her personality. Both the inmates of Shaktinagar
as well as the visiting devotees received Her love,
personal attention and protection in abundant measure.
People saw the glory of the resurrected divinity of
Mother Rama Devi and again heard Her divine voice. The
younger generation was specially inspired by Her Teachings
and personality.
Mother Tara Devi was an avalanche of divine force,
accomplishing Her purposes with incredible swiftness,
thereby aptly fitting in with Her divinity as Devi Sree
Chandika. There was a spurt in the Mission activities,
not only in Shaktinagar, but in all other centres also.
Her bhajans and discourses were, very often, punctuated
by Her Samadhis, divine Bhavas and ecstasies and She
appeared to be dwelling mostly in the transcendent plane,
oblivious of Her body. During such states, She radiated
tremendous spiritual vibrations. Thus, after having
established the institution of Shaktinagar, and the
Mission as a whole, on a strong foundation, Mother Sree
Tara Devi entered Maha Samadhi on 4-9-1981.
Though both the Mothers have, thus withdrawn Themselves
into Their formless Immensity, true to Their declarations
and assurances. They continue to guide the devotees
and the institution. They have lovingly nurtured. Their
presence is palpably felt always. |
