December 3, 1970
From this day, Mother went through a long ordeal
that lasted more than a month and a half. That
will be the last turning point after those of 1962
and 1968. Satprem will see her again only on
January 16. On December 31, her faithful cashier
Satyakarma left his body, the last in the unhappy
series that deprived Mother of her most reliable
helpers. In the course of this ordeal, Mother was
affected successively in the chest, the abdomen,
then the legs and down to the feet. The first
bedsores appeared on her back.
