&everything that this body says or does, its actions, movements, its going hither and thither, is done for your sake. Whatever is done for you by this body at any time, it is you who cause it to happen. Shree Shree Anandamayee Ma in reply to a devotee s query This book contains miracle-laden incidents and strange little happenings depicting Shree Shree Ma Anandamayee s infinite compassion for Her children. Each narrative carries one particular message- the message of solace and compassion for Her devotees.

The book makes a revealing study of Mother s supernatural glory. Its appeal is irresistible not only for the devotees of the Mother but for all seekers of God realization.

"It cannot be that anybody, anywhere is not my very own. I am with you at all times." Clothed in spotless white... the image of simplicity and gentleness, Anandamayi Ma was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time. Her devotees ranged from prime ministers to renowned saints to humble villagers. Although virtually uneducated, Ma spoke with the authority of direct experience and mesmerised all with her ethereal beauty, sweetness and grace. A free spirit, she wandered all over the country showering her love and tender care on everyone. Across India, several ashrams, established and dedicated in her name, today serve as sanctuaries for spiritual seekers. Wherever she went, miracles followed in her wake. From suddenly appearing at the bedside of a dying woman... to breathing life into an ant crushed thoughtlessly underfoot, everything was manifested effortlessly and graciously through Ma. Her samadhi at Kankhal near Haridwar, radiates peace and showers blessings on devotees who come to pay their respects from all over the world. This short biography, written by a "dikshit" - a direct disciple of Ma, seeks to acquaint you with the sacred persona, inspired wisdom and the divine life of Anandamayi Ma. Its highlight is a chapter on new incidents that have come to light and never before been published in any biography of Ma.

For a span of more than fifty years Sri Ma Anandamayi dominatedgracefully the spiritual horizon of India. The keepers of the Vedicheritage 3 the ascetics orders of India 3 were united in declaringher the quintessence of the Upanishadic Spirit.The present book is a lively and engaging account of Sri Ma senigmatic personality from the point of view of a single devotedfamily. It is an intimate and moving study of personal commitments.Yet through the author s perspective an emerging modern societyis glimpsed where orthodox rites, political upheavals, social changescreate the shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope. Sri Ma and herentourage of visiting dignitaries, princes, scholars, village womenand children, and renowned ascetics assume a three-dimensionalimage. According to Richard Lannoy, who has written the Foreword,the book is a valliant attempt at closing the distance between theknown and the unfathomable.

Ma Anandamayi is generally regarded as the most important Hindu woman saint of the twentieth century. Venerated alternately as a guru and as an incarnation of God on earth, Ma had hundreds of thousands of devotees. Through the creation of a religious movement and a vast network of ashrams-unprecedented for a woman-Ma presented herself as an authority figure in a society where female gurus were not often recognized. Because of her widespread influence, Ma is one of the rare Hindu saints whose cult has outlived her. Today, her tomb is a place of veneration for those who knew her as well as new generations of her followers. By performing extensive fieldwork among Ma's current devotees, Orianne Aymard examines what happens to a cult after the death of its leader. Does it decline, stagnate, or grow? Or is it rather transformed into something else entirely? Aymard's work sheds new light not only on Hindu sainthood-and particularly female Hindu sainthood-but on the nature of charismatic religious leadership and devotion.
