📌 Book Summary:

"শ্রী সারদাদেবী একাধারে মর্ত্যমানবী ও বিশ্বজননী—কিন্তু কীভাবে এই রূপান্তর ঘটল?"

Sri Sarada Devi's life is a remarkable journey of transformation. She was a simple village girl, bound by the traditions of her time, yet she evolved into the spiritual mother of the Ramakrishna Order and a global maternal figure.

In this book, Manjari Chowdhury offers a unique perspective, moving beyond the traditional portrayal of devotion to examine Sarada Devi as:
✔ A real woman with dreams, desires, and struggles
✔ A symbol of transformation, from a secluded housewife to a universal mother
✔ A product of her time, yet transcending it to become a spiritual icon

Unlike conventional biographies, this book presents a humanized view of Sarada Devi, uncovering:
🔹 The untold story of her childhood, aspirations, and challenges
🔹 Her evolution from a traditional housewife to a revered spiritual leader
🔹 The cultural and historical influences that shaped her role

This book invites readers to see Sarada Devi not just as a divine figure but as a woman of her time, who overcame societal constraints to become an eternal guiding force.

✔ Deep historical and cultural context of her time
✔ Well-researched and insightful, written by an acclaimed scholar
