Reminiscences of The Ati Rudra Maha Yajna – 1981

Shree Shree MĀ Ānandamayee, the bliss permeated Mother was the manifestation of the Supreme, omnipresent, without boundaries or limits, encompassing all dimensions of space and time that the Vedas describe. The most austere spiritual practice was only a ‘play’ as She had nothing to achieve or gain. In 1922 at Bajitpur, on being asked, She spontaneously revealed Her true identity as “Pūrna Brahma Nārāyan” (the Absolute).
Shree Shree MĀ Ānandamayee was often heard saying, “I am what I was and what I shall be. I am whatever you conceive, think or say … this body is the material embodiment of all your thoughts and ideas. You all have wanted it and you have it now.”
To many, MĀ was joy, peace and compassion incarnate. To many a forlorn and dejected heart, MĀ’s benign presence and silent communication provided solace, purpose and direction in life. Those who came in contact with Her felt that Her relationship with all was truly that of a universal Divine Mother – one of warmth, compassion, concern and affection.
