Gospel | Chapter 6: Nov 1882 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Now, my page mark is on page one hundred and fifty-eight in my book.

Uh, that's-- it shows November eighteen eighty-two.

No specific date, but just says November eighteen eighty-two.

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when Sri Ramakrishna arrived in Calcutta to attend the annual festival of the Brahmo Samaj, which was to be celebrated at Manilal Mullick's house.

Besides M. and other devotees of the Master, Vijay Goswami and a number of Brahmos were present.

Elaborate arrangements had been made to make the occasion a success.

Vijay was to conduct the worship.

The, the Kathak recited the life of Prahlada from the Purana.

Its substance was as follows: Hiranyakashipu, the Prahlada's father, was king of the demons.

He bore great malice towards God and put his own son through endless tortures for le-leading a religious life.

Afflicted by his father, Prahlada prayed to God, "O God, please give my father holy inclinations." At these words, the Master wept.

He went into an ecstatic mood.

Afterwards, he began to talk to the devotees.
