Jamuna was the first girl at Mukti to manifest the Holy Spirit, but she wasn't the last. The entire ashram filled with the spirit of revival. Rama began sending the girls on preaching missions to the surrounding villages. God granted Rama's prayer request for Indian Christian missionaries with students from her own ashram. But Rama isn't finished yet. She starts translating the Bible from the original languages into a simple Marathi the common people can understand. The girls working in the print shop will set the type.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Rama picked up the small black book that had been her constant companion since she arrived in Calcutta.
“Minnie, the first Bible I ever had was impossible for me to read.”
“Because it was in English?”
Rama smiled and shook her head. “It was Sanskrit, but not in the script I knew. In my hands I hold the Marathi translation that’s been my companion for twenty years. Missionaries worked hard to translate the Bible into Marathi. They consulted with everyone they could find to make it easily understood. They didn’t realize that these words are for educated people. I’m going to translate the Bible into simple Marathi, the language our Bible women understand and can read.”
