Ma Ananda Moyi
 

Hello,

Anyone here knows her, love her, is touched by her?

She has such a wonderful energy, taking a break and staying in her energy all week.

Enjoy!

Do you mean Anandamayi Ma? d.1982?
Wondering, is this a private name devotees called her?
I want to read up on her now.

Yes it is her,

She did not write books as she only went to school two years in her life. They are two books relating what she said to some but they are so so.

On you Tube you can find a few images and videos of her. Just amazing to see her in a crowd hugging people from all over the world.

It is someone I would liked to meet in person when she was alive. A least she is easy to find up there if one call her from deep within the hearth.

Enjoy!

One minute in and I'm going to watch everything...even a documentary on her!

I have seen almost everything. It is a slow reading the subtitles, you know.
That's why it has taken me awhile. That's fine. :)
I don't know what to say.
I am inspired by her very much.
I still have the 1 hr+ documentary for last. :icon_smile:

There is nothing to say.

She is the real thing said Sri Aurobindo

About a year ago I was looking online at a list of gurus in recent history. And as soon as I saw her picture I could feel a deep presence and knew that she was special.

Then there was a discussion on the forum about finding a teacher or following a guru. I felt someone needed help and I was thinking about suggesting that they try to contact her. But I couldn't decide whether that was right to suggest.

Anyhow eventually I realized I probably should take my own advice and seek out her help. As I could certainly use some help. So I tried and immediately felt her presence and got some very helpful advice.

Her use of language is very simple and direct. I saw visually a space between us but that space felt full, like a solid space filling in the distance. It was like we had boundaries yet were inseparably connected.

Before that I always felt like I was missing something never having a guru teacher. But after that experience I no longer felt any longing. That experience was enough to make me satisfied completely as if I sat in the presence of a real guru in the physical.

Hello Winter Light,

Thank you for sharing this nice story.

She is easy to find out there, and her touch does not leave someone unchanged.

Enjoy!

One of the things that was very special for me and has stuck...
to devote 15 min of every hour to think about God.
(Maybe 'think' is the wrong word, ha...)

I would say to someone-start small-devote one minute; to not get discouraged.:tongue:
And then naturally, sweetly increase the time. :icon_smile:

Another simple thing, made me laugh...someone asked a question...lol...and she was
SO simple and clear ...Let God answer it. That was the best!

Like they say, nothing better than going directly to the source...
