Finding no other choice, he came to his sister’s home at Baranagar, near Dakshineswar. His nephew Sidhu noticed his mental agony and understood what would assuage his distress. Casually, he took him to Rani Rasmani’s lovely temple garden, as if to stroll in the peaceful surroundings; but his intention was actually to take him to Sri Ramakrishna who lived there. Thus, accompanied by Sidhu, he entered into Sri Ramakrishna’s room and that moment became a defining point in the spiritual history of India.
Later this man confessed: “I was thinking of killing myself, but instead I found my Self. My family troubles led me to God.”
This was Mahendranath Gupta, revered as the saintly Master Mahashay, or M., who reorded Sri Ramakrishna’s everyday life and teachings in his The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.
At the time of this first meeting, M., was the erudite headmaster of a renowned school in Calcutta (now Kolkata). But his domestic life was beset with storm and stress. He was unable to bear the pettiness and selfishness of his relatives and had decided to commit suicide.
