My spiritual mentor was a "soul sister" of Anandamayi Ma and I used to have a picture of the two of them together. We used to hear lots of stories about her at our ashram. Our ashram in Haridwar (India) is actually a short walk from Anandaymayi's mausoleum and I visited it frequently when I was at the Haridwar Khumba Mela in 1998. Both my teacher and Anandamayi Ma were featured in Linda Johnsen's book, Living Women Saints of India.
What I remember most about her was her statement when she revealed herself: "I am the all-pervading Reality".
Awesome !
