Today is the auspicious Phalaharini Kali puja day, which is observed on a new moon day and has gained popularity because it was on this day that Sri Ramakrishna offered all the merits of his spiritual practice at the feet of his consort, Sri Sarada Devi. The word phalaharini means ‘the mother deity, who takes away the fruits of our actions’. Phala means fruit, the fruits of actions. Whenever we do something, it creates fruits in the form of tendencies in the mind and those fruits leads us to do other actions. Suppose one listens to something good, it leaves a good tendency in the mind and it makes one listen to more good things. This cycle makes you come back over and again to this world, because one has to exhaust one’s mental tendencies. Phalaharini removes all these tendencies by taking away the fruits of one’s actions. Harini means a female deity who takes away. One continues to get the results of one’s actions because of the thought: ‘I am the doer and I am the enjoyer’. The goal of spiritual life is to remove this thought. This process is hastened by Phalaharini Kali.

Best wishes to everyone on the Birth Anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

Netaji regarded Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda “as two aspects of one indivisible personality”.

He said: “If Swamiji had been alive today, he would have been my guru. Needless to say, as long as I live, I shall be absolutely loyal and devoted to Ramakrishna- Vivekananda.”
