A compilation of recollections of Motiba (Champaklal's aunt) & Bansidhar (Champaklal's younger brother)
Long back, Foiba had offered a very light-weight golden tissue saree to the Mother. It was one of her own sarees that had been used by her. It was soft and woven with white horizontal lines across the length of the saree.
The Mother liked it very much and wore it quite often.
As we know, the Mother stopped wearing sarees after 1950. But later in 1955, She was offered a Ruby Crown and She wore once again a saree for the special Puja Darshan.
Whenever She selected the saree for a particular day, She preferred a light weight, soft and delicate one, but of course, She would also wear any which was offered lovingly.
It seems, She wore Foiba's saree at least two or three times between 1955 and 1958. And every time She had specially asked for it. Lovingly She would caress the saree and called it, "My Water Saree".
SUNANDA
Fill our hearts with the delight of Thy love.
Flood our minds with the splendour of Thy light.
Grant that we may effectuate Thy victory!
