Divine Dowager: The Life and Teachings of Saradamani, the Holy Mother

by Narasingha Sil

Overview

Although not seeking to debunk the Hindu hagiography that has grown up around her and her ascetic husband Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sil (history, Western Oregon U.) seeks to rescue the human figure of Saradamani Chattopadhyay, a "simple but industrious woman who had been a victim of her God-man husband's whimsy as his dutiful wife" and the object of worship and mythology after his death.
