46 MA ANANDAMAYEE AMRIT VARTA Vol. 27, No.1, February2023

Ma: Have you got any children?
Myself: No.
Ma: Have you taken diksha?
Myself: Yes, from my father.
Ma (looking at everyone): Hear, hear, she has taken diksha from her father.
Father is the supreme Guru. Who is the Guru of the father?
Myself: Shree Shree Jogeshwari Mahadevi Ma.
Ma: She is not alive now?
Myself: No, Ma.
Ma: You have come here to see me, to tell all your problems, you get well
soon and come near me.
I just stared at Ma. So beautiful, a divine charisma. Ma smiled at me and gave
me a fruit. We returned back to Ganga Ma’s Ashram. Maiji was waiting for us,
and asked us joyfully, “Repeat what Ma has said.” I replied, “Ma said that Ma is
happy with Ganga Ma’s hospitality.” She was too pleased to hear everything that
had occurred in Ma’s Ashram. I also told her that somebody must have informed
Ma about me. She replied, “Nothing needs to be informed to Ma. Ma is
omniscient.” Having Ma’s darshan had become a part of my daily routine. I
used to just gaze at Ma and get mesmerized. After pranâm Ma used to give me
a fruit as prasâd and I used to return back to GangaMa.
One day when I arrived near Ma, Ma smiled at me, I bowed down in obeisance,
Ma blessed me by touching my head and said, “Tomorrow pack your baggage
and come near me.” Ma gave me a fruit and further said, “Inform Ganga Ma
about your coming here.” On returning back when I informed Maiji, she said,
“Ma has called you near Her, what can be better than this?” When everyone in
this Ashram learnt about this news, all of them came and blessed me or praised
me. Gayatri’di handed me my money bag and said, “I had taken this purse from
you when you had arrived here, take it and count the cash. Stay well.”
The next day I entered Ma’s Ashram with my baggage. Through Swamini
Kantanandji, Ma had made arrangements for my lodging in a third floor room,
very near to the Puja room of the Kanyapeeth. Ma Herself had collected all the
required bedding for me and had sent it to my room through Kantanandji. Ma
then informed the Kanyapeeth girl who was managing the morning tiffin, to
serve me breakfast too. Ma also made arrangements for my afternoon prasâd
in the Annapurna Mandir. For the night meals, Ma informed Mala’di to serve
me prasâd from Ma’s bhog. Ma then enquired as to who was managing the
Puja room. Parul’di replied that Sandhya was presently managing it. Hearing
