Images of Divinity: Sri Ramakrishna's Reverence for Women

Sri Ramakrishna regarded women as the embodiment of the Divine, as the Mother Goddess, as Shakti.

"The knowledge of oneness makes me see that everything is but a manifestation of God the Absolute on the plane of the senses. Thus do I realize that all women are so many forms in which the Divine Mother appears. Hence I revere all women alike."
