One can find the trunk of a date tree on exhibit at the office of the ashrama. This piece of wood is a silent witness to a miraculous incident at Cossipore during Sri Ramakrishna’s last days: One day some young disciples were going to tap date juice from a tree in the compound. Sri Ramakrishna was then in a very bad condition and could not even move about without help. But to her surprise, Mother
noticed him running out of the room that day. She went to his room to see what the matter was. The room was empty, and she saw Sri Ramakrishna return within a short time. When she asked him about the incident the next day, he dismissed it by saying, ‘Oh! It is all your imagination! Your brain must have been heated by standing for long near the oven in the kitchen!’ But when Mother was persistent, he said that there was a cobra under the date tree from which the young disciples were going to tap the juice. In order to protect them, he had, by his higher powers, gone to the place in advance and driven the cobra away
