A Walk Through Kamarpukur and Jayrambati

The villages of Kamarpukur and Jayrambati in rural West Bengal are important because God was born there in the form of Sri Ramakrishna and Sri Sarada Devi. It is unlikely that these villages had changed a lot by the 1980s when Usha Ma took the video and photos. Villagers still lived in mud houses with thatched roofs and carried kerosene lanterns at night. Today, Kamarpukur and Jayrambati have become small towns with electricity and modern amenities.

Pranam.
I came to know about the videos that you shot from a book about our Param Pujoniya Guru Mahatajji Srimat Swami Gambhiranandaji.
Heartfelt thanks for these, my parents took me to visit these Tirthas around this time in my childhood. I relived my earliest memories of these holy places through these videos.

This and the. Dakshineshwar videos have been a real blessing. I still have a post card from this time of Jayrambati Swami Swahananda gave me. Time has to move forward, and progress is good, but there's a certain magic in seeing life in this time.
