This book has a mysterious power to invoke Sri Ma’s presence, like no other, and this must result from that very close connection between Bhaiji and Sri Ma, his all-in-all

MOTHER As Seen by Her Devotees
Several authors.
178 pages | 2 photos
The present work brings together some papers from a number of writers, Indian and Non-Indian, on what each of them thinks about Mother Anandamayi and of the reaction of each to the influence of Her superb personality. It seems, however, that all of them have been deeply impressed with Mother’s sanctity, wisdom and love, and greatly influenced by the extraordinary qualities of Her life and character; although none of them have anything to say, except incidentally, on the mystery of Her Being and Personality.
