The
highlights of her life
| 1. |
Born probably in the late 1840s. |
| 2. | Married when she was young to a poor Brahmin, who died after a few years, leaving her with two small children, a son and a daughter. |
| 3. | Son also died when he was still very young, and her mainstay in life then became her daughter, Chandi. |
| 4. | Chandi was married to an eminent and wealthy landlord of Calcutta, but again fate was cruel to Golap-ma, and Chandi died prematurely, creating a tremendous void in her mother's life. |
| 5. | Visited Sri Ramakrishna at Dakshineswar, one day in 1855, and felt all grief removed from her heart as soon as he touched her head. |
