Dakshineswar: Seat of Sri Ramakrishna

siva4

One day

while worshipping Shiva, I was about to offer a Bel-leaf on the head of the image, when it was revealed to me that this Virat, this Universe, itself is Shiva. After that, my worship of Shiva through the image came to an end.

-Sri Ramakrishna
(1836-1886)
