Note 21

In plain words

Rani Rasmani's allowance: 1265, that is, 1858 A.D. To Sri Sri Kali: Sri Ramtarak Bhattacharya, 5 rupees. To Sri Sri Radhakanta: Sri Ramakrishna Bhattacharya, 5 rupees. Attendant: Sri Hriday Mukhopadhyay, 3 rupees 8 annas; he is to gather flowers. Cloth: Ramtarak, 3 pairs, 4 rupees 8 annas. Ramakrishna, 3 pairs, 4 rupees 8 annas. Ram Chatterji, the same. Hriday Mukherji, the same. Rations: parboiled rice, a seer and a half; lentils, three quarters of a pao; leaf-plates, 2; tobacco, 1 chhatak; firewood, 2 maunds and a half. From the allowance it can be seen that in 1858 Sri Ramakrishna was doing the worship in the temple of Radhakanta, and Ramtarak, that is, Haladhari in the Kali temple. Hriday as attendant had to gather flowers. Because there were animal sacrifices, Haladhari later, in 1859-60, came to the service of Radhakanta, and then Sri Ramakrishna went to do the worship in the Kali temple. At this time: the disciplines in the tulsi grove at the Panchavati and those of the Puranas, the company of Ramait holy men, the service of Ramlala. 1859, the marriage. 1860, six months of worship in the Kali temple and the madness of divine love, the giving up of worship, and later the disciplines of the Tantra beneath the bel tree with the help of the Brahmani. From Deed of Endowment executed by Rashmoni on 18th February, 1861.
