When the Matrimandir Chamber was in construction and nearing completion I had the great honour of taking two of my most beloved elder brothers, Champaklal and Nirodbaran to the Chamber. The ramp was not yet completed and we had to walk carefully on the planks. We entered and sat for a long time. As Champaklal didn't want to leave we sat some more. It was a moment in time in which I felt the Divine blessings so powerfully. On another occasion I was again honoured to take my beloved guide and elder brother, Arabinda Basu, alone. That moment too is eternal in my consciousness.
When all the workersin the Matrimandir Gardens Nursery would put on the yearly flower show with hundreds of flowers named by Mother, bus after bus of disciples and devotees would arrive from the Ashram to experience the messages of the flowers and the beauty of the Nursery.
Here is a photo from those early days.
