Sri Anandamayi Ma –

Pranams at the lotus feet of Ma!

Ma was reverentially greeted as ‘Manush Kali’, she was divine personified on Earth to eradicate the sufferings and grief of the distressed, she urged the distraught people to contemplate upon the supreme being, who is supreme bliss resides as a soul in human beings,  one prominent astrologer exclaimed that he never had an opportunity to read a palm, like hers with the Chatu Sagari Yog, still he remembers an occasion of reading the palm of a Yogi who lived on the banks of Lake Manasarovar for more than 350 years, he has undergone strict Yogic practices for several years to attain that state, Ma does not require to undertake those extreme austerities, she herself embodied as ‘Bhramavidhya’.  Bholanathji was a great companion and a devoted disciple of Ma was deeply anxious when Ma undergoes transcendental state which is beyond description, sometimes she immerses in a state of bliss for hours and hours which made Bholanathji continue his devotional service to a greater the extent to bring her back to the state of normalcy, he was an exceptional soul with deep devotion and compassion to Ma, he continued his service as a disciple as well as the guardian of Ma till he breathed last.   Ma was a spiritual preceptor and a devoted wife to Bholanathji.  At the instructions of Ma, Bholanathji continued rigorous spiritual practices in Siddheshvari Kali temple as well as in Tharapeet, later the couple left Dhaka and settled in Dheradun which was the favorite place of Sadhana of Bholanathji.  The divine personified on Earth may refuse to be in the center of attraction for long; they often chose a place of solitude and continue with their spiritual practices, they need not attain anything material, they are beyond material existence, all they look for the elevation of soul from the worldly existence.  Ma and Bholanathji have renounced soul; hence they did not find any difference in leaving one place to another, they are void of worldly bondage, newly settled land of Dheradun was completely a strange place for them and the languages are unknown to them, but they continued their spiritual practices and intense meditation at ease.
