Meethi Memories of Mamma

 

 

 

Mama was My Class-Mate, Friend And Spiritual Mother

 – Dadi Prakash Mani ji

 

Mama’s primary education started in Mumbai, since Mama’s lokik father resided there. Mama had studied in English medium. She also knew Gujarati and could read and write Gurumukhi. Mama did not learn how to read or write Sindhi or Hindi languages. Her father’s untimely death brought her along with her family to Sindh, Hyderabad. Those days, it was uncommon for Sindhi girls to be fashionable and she was a rare example of a modern girl in Sindh. She was excellent in singing; she had a sweet voice like professional singers. As proficient as she was in singing, so too was she in dancing and clever at her studies and all other extra-curricular activities.

OUR FIRST MEETING

The first time I saw Mama was at a school function (programme). Mama had danced to “Twinkle twinkle little star…” Mama was awarded so many prizes for the dance that I was left wonder-struck. Mama was 16-years old at the time. I too attended the English-Medium Model School to complete my Metric (Class 10), and became Mama’s class-mate. We sat at the same bench but were not close friends since she was modern and I, simple. But since we were class-mates, we were friendly and loving to each other. At the time, I did not know about her lokik back-ground.

STRONG MEMORY POWER

In a little while, we had our Deepawali holidays. As I was free, I once visited Baba’s satsang. These satsangs had been carrying for about one-and-a-half to two months. Mama visited the satsang as well and when we met I told her, “This is a very good spiritual gathering. You should come everyday, I too will come.” Mama then attended the satsang daily. Mama had always been very intelligent and far-sighted. Mama’s memory power was so strong that she only had to listen to something once for it to get imprinted on her intellect. She could listen to one of Baba’s points and then talk about it for the next 10 days, unveiling more and more secrets. She could take up one point and talk on it for an hour; this revealed the clarity and depth of her understanding. Never once in her life did she say that she had forgotten something or say, “Yes, perhaps you had told me…” or “Oh yes! Now I remember what you had told me…” Mateshwari Jagadamba was the master of an unfathomable memory.

FULL OF MOTHERLY LOVE AND YET DETACHED

Mama showered so much love on everyone that the love would fill them through and through. Although Mama interacted with me as friends in the yagya, our relationship mirrored that of a mother and daughter. She took me along wherever she went.

Mama had limitless power of determination. No one could influence or make her waver once she had taken a determined thought. Having strong faith in whatever directions Baba gave, she inspired us to carry it through. As was her determination, so was her admirable faith in the intellect. Mama’s activities clearly proved that she was a natural Radhe, Mother of the Yagya. Every step emphasized the fact that she was the same Mama, the same Radhe, and the same Lakshmi.

Mama was very fearless. Mama was a lioness, the practical embodiment of power, and equally detached and unaffected. She was not body-conscious but her intoxication of self-respect was far more than of any other individual. She had complete faith in herself, Baba, and His task. Baba had only to mention that something needed to be done, and Mama would be on the job immediately. Baba existed in her thoughts and breath. She also had abundant love for everyone, which made my heart call out, “Mama, you are the idol of love and treasure-store of humility.” She was the image of motherly love, yet beyond attachment.

SHE DISCIPLINED & TAUGHT US WITH RESPECT

Whether it was Pandavas (brothers) or Shaktis (sisters), Mama would listen to matters of everyone’s heart, give advice, and point out mistakes too. Even when complaints came to Mama, she would merge it within and pacify both parties.

We learned something special whenever we met Mama. We always left her room with an inspiration or new teaching, having forgotten whatever we had come to say in the first place. Mama was the idol of contentment herself and remained extremely happy with whatever and however little she received.

VAK-KALA DEVI VAAGEESHWARI (Goddess of Eloquence)

Mama’s oratory skills were powerful and logical. No one could win a debate with Mama. Mama’s answers were like Arjuna’s arrows – they would hit the mark. In one incident, the District Commissioner of Karachi, Brother Jagatsher (who lived opposite our bungalow) asked Mama a couple of impertinent questions. Mama’s answers made him fall at her feet!

MOTHER DURGA – THE AUTHORITY & EMBODIMENT OF FEARLESSNESS

A warrant once came against Mama. Warrants in Dadi Manohar’s name and that of other Dadis’ were also been issued as they were minors, who were below 16 years of age and had left their homes to join the yagya. Mama was 18 years old at the time. Daily, we would receive warrants in one of the sister’s names and discuss it every morning. One day, Baba was in a light mood and said, “Om Radhe, today a warrant will come in your name and you’ll have to return home.” Mama replied, “Baba, there is no one who would send me a warrant. I only have a mother who knows that I am 18 years old. It is not possible for a warrant to come in my name.” Baba agreed with her and the matter ended there. At exactly 10 o’ clock, we received a warrant in Radhe Pokardas’s name. The warrant bore her lokik mother’s signature. When Mama saw the warrant, she said, “This is a false signature. I can guarantee that my mother could not have signed this. Prove to me that my own mother signed it. Apart from this, I have completed 18 years of age according to my date of birth, so this warrant is invalid. How can you say I am underage? Summon my mother – let her tell me that she has indeed signed this warrant.” But we had to accept the warrant. Later on, Mama went to court and told the judge, “My date of birth is this date, month, and year. This warrant does not hold my mother’s signature. You may question her yourself. If my mother says that she indeed issued this warrant in my name, then I will return home willingly.” This caused much commotion in the court. Her mother was then questioned and she replied, “I don’t know anything about this. No one asked me about it – I didn’t sign it.” Hearing this, the judge’s face went pale. The case ended there and Mama was driven back respectfully from the court. Mama had asked the judge, “Is this the way you summon women to the court?” Mama’s powerful and fearless speech silenced the judge absolutely! Mama never got scared; she was firm and had faith in the intellect, which allowed her to give precise answers. Mama thus personified Mother Durga.

SHE COMPLETELY FOLLOWED THE CODES OF CONDUCT & ETIQUETTE

Mama held deep respect for Baba and could never listen to someone else speak of Baba ordinarily. One time, I came to Mama after playing a game with Baba. I happily told Mama, “I won over Baba today.” Mama immediately said, “Keep quiet. Is this the way you should speak, that you have won over Baba?” But I insisted, “It’s true, Mama. I did win.” Mama then clarified, “Even if you did win, you won the game and not Baba. Therefore, you should say, I won the game.” Mama gave us the accurate meaning of every word and asked us to use it rightly. She constantly followed the codes of conduct and etiquette.

SHE ACCEPTED THE AIM, MADE EFFORTS & REACHED THE GOAL

I learned good manners by living with Mama. Om Radhe was a loving, sweet mother and friend to me. However much we praise sweet Mama, it always seems inadequate. She was as knowledgeable and a yogi soul, as she was Shiv-Shakti Mother. Baba would say, “A soul with faith in the intellect is always victorious”; I saw the complete practical proof of this in Mama. No matter whether it was Baba who saw Mama first or vice-versa, Baba said instantly, “O Radhe, you are Anuradhe (the one to become Shri Lakshmi), you are Jagadamba”. The moment Mama came in front of Baba, he said, “O Radhe, you are Om Radhe. O Om Radhe, you are Jagadamba (World Mother), you are mother to all.” It was astonishing to see how Baba related Mama’s biography automatically as soon as she came before him. I noticed that Mama too accepted this with faith, made efforts and lived up to it.

The one to play the veena (Indian lute), Mother Saraswati, played the veena of knowledge so sweetly that it pleased the minds of all listeners. Mama was the fearless Mother Durga and Mother Shakti. Baba’s reference to the dual bead (meru dãnã) of the rosary of victory became a reality when Mama came to the yagya.

THE ONE ADORNED WITH GARLANDS OF VIRTUES

Whether it was in Om Mandli, or Om Niwas or Kunj Bhawan, I have always lived with Mama. Whoever came in front of her — with whatever motive — her drishti would make them fall at her feet in reverence. We stayed with Mama during all 14 years of tapasya. It was her daily routine to wake up at 2 a.m. and then sit on a chair in her room to meditate. She would sit with us and teach us every type of physical service; whether it was cleaning the grains, or cutting vegetables, she would be the first to come for service and instruct us as well.

On invitation, Mama first left the yagya on service to Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh). I was in Delhi then and Baba sent me a telegram saying I should accompany Mama to Kanpur. And so, not only once, but Baba sent me on tour with Mama many times. Devotees say there is a rosary of 36 virtues and Mama was number one in all 36 of them.

There were sisters older than Mama in the yagya, but she behaved both as a friend and mother with them.

MOTHER REMINDS US OF MADHUBAN GRAPES

You have most likely seen the grape vine in Baba’s garden at Madhuban; it first bore fruit on 23rd June 1965. Baba asked Mama to feed grapes to us children and so, Mama gave two grapes each to all the souls present in Madhuban on 24th June after Murli class. These grapes remind us of Mama.

The one question in everyone’s heart is, where is Mama now? Where has Baba hidden her? But only Baba knows the answer to this question. Baba, You alone know Your ways and means. Baba has still kept this a secret. But Mama must surely be somewhere…

 

Mama was World Mother As Well As A Young Child –Dadi Janki

 

I knew Mama much before she became Mama but we were not friends, as she was with Dadi Kumarka (Dadi Prakash Mani).  Both of them were younger than me.  Mama had an active personality and was different from the rest of us.  But when I first saw her at Om Mandali, wearing a white frock, it took me by surprise.  Mama glowed in comparison to other sisters.  Seeing her transformation on coming to Om Mandali, people were pleased but also surprised.  When I came to Karachi, somebody asked me if I had met Mama?  I thought they were referring to Baba’s lokik wife, Mother Jashoda.  I replied that I would meet her in time, but in a couple of days I understood whom they were calling Mama.

MAMA WOULD NOT JUST LISTEN, BUT ASSIMILATE THE KNOWLEDGE & THEN SHARE

The transformation brought about in Mama within 2-3 years was unusual.  Mama’s eyes, words, and personality all became spiritual.  When Mama shared knowledge, she did not just repeat what Baba said but would churn and understand it fully before relating the same.  Whenever I saw Mama, she would either be sitting in meditation on the roof of Kunj Bhawan or on a chair in the courtyard (outside her room) in the moonlight.  Seeing Mama in tapasya inspired me greatly.

When Mama spoke the Murli, we would be so engrossed that we would sit as still as idols.  Even though the Murli sometimes continued for about one-and-a-half hours, we all sat with total concentration.  Her Murli was unimaginably sweet.  Looking at the yagya as a whole, Mama was probably the only one to speak the least to everyone else.  I admired this quality of Mama’s as I too liked remaining silent.  I received the inspiration to be introverted from Mama and would interact little with others.  I did speak occasionally with Didi Manmohini.  Once, I happened to mention to Didi that I was slightly scared of Mama.  This was not because I had made a mistake but I was a little hesitant in meeting her.  Mama soon found out about this and one day, whilst holding my hand, asked me, “Are you scared of me, Janak?”  I replied, “No, I am not scared of you but I said that since I never speak to you freely.”  Mama then said, “Accha, then let’s have a spiritual chit-chat today.”  Mama spoke with much love and regard to everyone and made them content. 

MAMA TAUGHT BY EXAMPLE, NOT BY PREACHING

Mama would say, one should not repeat a mistake.  I tied a knot (made a promise) that I would maintain such a record that Mama would never need to instruct me twice about something.  Mama never taught by preaching; she taught us through her actions.  I was not used to waking up at 4 a.m. in my lokik life.  It was only after coming to Om Mandali that I learned to get up early.  Mama used to come and check on us at 4 a.m.  If someone was still sleeping, she would quietly descend downstairs to the kitchen.  Once, someone found out and informed everyone that Mama had checked on us and left.  We then quickly got ready and went to meet her.  Mama smiled and said, “Your devotees were awake and ringing the bells in your temples, but you were still sleeping!”  From that day until now, I have never missed Amrit Vela meditation.

MAMA ACCEPTED BRAHMA BHOJAN AS PRASÃD (BLESSED FOOD) FROM GOD

Mama was never interested in what was being cooked for the day.  She accepted whatever she received with love.  She never once said, “Today, there is less or more salt in the food.  Today the vegetable has been prepared well (or not).”  Whilst having her meals, she never looked anywhere else but would sit quietly to eat and then leave.  She accepted her meals as prasãd (food blessed by God). 

Whenever Baba said anything to Mama, she never questioned it; she always said, “Yes, Baba, Hã Ji Baba”; she had lot of regard for Baba.  When I lived in Pune, she visited us thrice.  I saw how unbreakable her faith was in whatever Baba said.  Once, someone asked Mama, “Previously, Baba used to say that one’s birth will occur where there is victory but these days, he doesn’t mention it.  What are your thoughts on it?”  Mama replied, “Where did my own thoughts come from?  Whatever Baba has said should be good enough for us.”  Mama was never arrogant about her own intellect or intelligence.

A CONQUERER OF MIND, SHE WAS PADMA MANODHÃRI
(one with a lotus-like mind)

In Pune, someone had asked once Mama how she kept her mind peaceful.  Mama answered, “This mind is our little baby.  I tell the baby to keep silent for now and that I will call it whenever needed.”  And her mind would thus stay silent…!

Once in Karachi, Mama was sitting in the office and I asked her, “What purushãrth (efforts) should we make?” Mama replied, “Always consider this to be your final hour.”  From that day to this moment, I have never forgotten Mama’s mantra that every hour is my last and I need to remain in Baba’s remembrance. 

MOTHER SARASWATI – GUPTGÃMINI (one who remained incognito)

Mama was never ostentatious.  She did so much service but never expressed it.  Mama had done a lot of good service in Bangalore for about one-and-a-half months before coming to Pune, but never said, “I did this and that…”  It was the brother who went to accompany her from Bangalore to Pune, who shared little service news.  When we questioned Mama, all she said was that it was good service, but nothing more.  In this manner, Mama never spoke about herself or the task she had carried out.  As much as she was a renunciate, she had disinterest accordingly and was a tapasvi.  I have seen Mama as Radhe, as Saraswati, as Kãli, and as World Mother (Jagadamba).

HER SPLENDID METHOD OF TEACHING

Baba would give instructions in front of the whole gathering or class, and if he needed to instruct someone individually, he wrote them a letter.  But Mama had a different method of teaching; she would advise or draw their attention to something by speaking to the children individually with love. She never corrected someone merely on the basis of hearsay.  Mama would give the soul time and explain whatever was needed very lovingly.  But amazingly, she never let the soul feel that she was instructing them only because someone else had complained about them.  Each child of the yagya accepted Mama’s teachings as advice coming from their own mother.  Each one felt whatever Mama was saying was for his or her own benefit.  Baba’s teachings were very powerful and one needed the strength to absorb and understand them.  Only a powerful soul could digest Baba’s teachings.  Generally, Baba did not correct a child directly; Baba would instruct Mama in front of the particular child, who then realized that Baba was referring to their own mistake and Mama had to listen unnecessarily.  The soul would then own up to their mistake in front of Mama and promise to pay attention in the future. 

MOTHER OF SYSTEMS, CUSTOMS, ETIQUETTE & CULTURE

Mama never thought of Baba in an ordinary manner.  She gave complete respect to whatever he said and obeyed completely.  Some children used to take Baba’s words very lightly.  Then Mama would gather the children together and explain that they should never make the grave mistake of considering Baba to be ordinary — “Every word of Baba’s was very valuable”.  She thus taught us etiquette and discipline.  Mama spoke very respectfully, lovingly, and sweetly.  Mama taught us systems, customs, etiquette and culture, thus making us worthy.  She played the role of a mother by decorating us with virtues, and then presenting us to the Father.     

Mama was a firm and true Vaishnav Devi, embodiment of purity and cleanliness, Durga – the one who holds the 8 weapons of knowledge and power, Kali – the goddess of fearlessness and a conqueror of vices.  Nothing impure or vicious could touch Mama or come near her. 

WHICH OF MAMA’S QUALITIES MADE BABA SELECT HER TO BE MOTHER OF THE YAGYA?

Essenceful —  She spoke very little; her face revealed her spirituality. 

Obedience — Mama accepted and understood Baba’s signals and considered it to be her fortune to follow Baba’s directions.

Catching Power — Mama related Baba’s murli in a very clear way; this is why there is the memorial of God’s murli and Saraswati’s Sitar. 

Trustee — The systems of the yagya active till date were created by Mama.

Contentment — All desires diminish when I remember, “I am the child of Kãmdhenu, the Mother sitting under the kalpa tree who fulfils all desires.”  Mama taught everyone to be constantly content, and removed the nature of being discontent.  Contentment brings satisfaction, authority, and power because one becomes wealthy — complete in all virtues, knowledge, and power.

Punctual — Mama was always on time.  Mama never came late for class or missed murli. 

Tapasya — Mama not only burnt her sins in the fire of yoga but her yoga power enabled others to finish their sins and sinful thoughts. 

Renunciation in service — Mama never said “I did this” or “I made this one understand”, she always said “Baba, Baba”, “Baba is making everyone understand.”

Accommodating — Mama saw benefit in all situations, thereby accomodating everything within herself. 

Detached and loving — Even if a good soul were to leave the body, Mama’s face would not display the slightest trace of sorrow.  The stage of being detached and loving makes one so strong that the mind become free from any disease and sorrow. 

She was constantly number one in her personality of purity, royalty, renunciation, and commitment to her task.  It was a great speciality of hers to be able to carry out a big transformation at such a young age.  Mama played the dual part of carrying out her task as Baba’s faithful daughter, and secondly, fulfilling her responsiblity as spiritual mother to the children of the yagya. Mama’s speech, advice, and suggestions became blessings.  Everyone felt that Mama had no ulterior motive; ‘she was working hard for our own benefit’.  Even people old enough to be her grandfather or great-grandfather would call Mama, ‘Mother’; they trusted her to be their well-wisher.  An ideal mother makes her children virtuous and teaches them etiquette – Mama fulfilled this duty to perfection. 

 

MAMA’S SPIRITUAL FORM

Mama daily read the Murli and listened to it on the recorder.  Even if it was 11 o’clock at night, Mama would first listen to the day’s Murli and only then sleep.  She was as committed to Godly studies as she was to her duty in the yagya.  Mama even listened to the Murli when she was in hospital.  I always saw Mama alert and accurate; I don’t remember ever seeing her eyes weary.  They were always lost in Baba’s remembrance. 

Mama was so humble that whenever Baba said, “Love, remembrances and namaste from the Mother and Father…”, Mama did not consider herself to be ‘the Mother’ giving greetings at the time – she would point upwards and say, love and remembrances are from that Father and Mother (Shiv Baba).  She only considered herself to be ‘Mother’ when it came to fulfilling her responsibilities and sustaining the yagya.  Mama did not accept the title of ‘Mother’, but accepted the duty of a mother and honoured it completely.  In front of Baba, she became a little daughter and before children of the yagya and devotees, she adopted the role of the First Goddess, Jagadamba (World Mother).  This was our great Mother Saraswati !

 

SOME JEWELS of Mama’s teachings

•        There’s benefit and a significant meaning to wherever Baba has placed you.  Never have a feeling of ownership, of “my” home, “my” connections and “my” relationships. 

•        If someone is bossy, then that might be useful in other aspects of service.  Understand each other and see each one’s virtues. Don’t be aftraid of those who have a hot temper. Don’t suppress those who have a gentle nature. Have regard for whoever Baba has placed as the instrument. Never have complaints or preference over who you can live and work with. 

•        Always consider every moment to be your final moment.

•        Understand the signals you are given and never take sorrow from them.  The One who doesn’t have love for the teachings doesn’t have love for the Teacher.  When you’re receiving teachings or signals, your face should not change and you should not have the thought  “I didn’t do it, so why am I being told this?.”  Even if someone else is being signalled, consider those teachings to be for yourself. 

•        Never reject the teachings, accept them with love.  They are your decoration; if not today then one day, the teachings will come in use.  No one should feel hesitant in saying something to me.   

•        Keep your sub-conscious mind clean.  Your sub-conscious is subtler than the mind and the intellect.  If you keep the defects of others in your sub-conscious then the rubbish and the mess will not allow you to focus or concentrate.

•        Always think – “Not only is God watching me but the whole world is watching my every step.”

 

 

 

 

Mateshwari was Our Hridayeshwari (Goddess of the Heart)

--Dadi Hriday Mohiniji (Gulzar Dadiji)

 

Sweet Mama, whom we used to call Mateshwari, was the Goddess of our Hearts. Her expert organizational skills in constructing the New World were unique and incomparable. On one hand, Mama sustained so many young girls like a mother but was also adept at bringing about transformation in their lifestyles. When Mama found out something wrong had occurred and the kumari involved was hesitating to come before Mama out of shame, her parental affections would emerge. She would gather all the children of the yagya together and make them aware of the incident, so that they too would consider it to be a insignificant. The person would then own up to his or her mistake and reform themselves forever. The mirror of their heart would become clean.

When Mama analysed the knowledge, it felt as if Goddess Saraswati and not Mama was speaking. Once, in Secunderabad, some citizens were opposing the BKs. Pitashri (Father) Brahma asked Mama to visit the place. Mama accepted the shrimat whole-heartedly and set on her way; I accompanied Mama to Secunderabad. Mama went to meet the opposition party. Hearing her sweet, meaningful voice, they melted… They experienced Mother Saraswati herself to be speaking to them. Witnessing this form of Mother Saraswati, they said, “Mother, forgive us. We did not know who you were. Knowledge heard through your lotus-mouth is unique and worth contemplating on. Whether or not we follow the gyan, your presence has opened our inner eye.” They also developed faith in the medium of the Supreme Soul, Pitashri.

Mateshwari — A Mine Of Virtues & An Incognito Tapasvini

–Dadi Nirmal Shantaji

Mama was very mature and silent. She would speak the Murli as well as fulfil all of the yagya’s responsibilities. She had to complete tasks but there was never any difference visible on her face, behaviour, and interactions; she remained peaceful, mature, sweet, and focussed. For example, when the yagya went through the beggary part, many times there was absolutely nothing for anyone to eat and this made few faces fall sullen. But whether Mama had something to eat or not, her face would constantly be smiling, free from worry, patient, and sparkle with her unshakeable and unbreakable faith in Baba. Even when someone left their body in the yagya, there was never any change on Mama’s face. When Mama’s lokik mother left her body, Mama maintained such a stage as if there was no lokik relationship with the mother at all – she was absolutely calm, stable, and focussed. When someone made a mistake, I never saw Mama reprimand us or get angry even to the slightly degree. I never saw Mama get upset or be angry in my lifetime.

Sister Santri used to stay with Baba (to take care of his needs) and I with Mama, and therefore I have watched Mama very closely.

MAMA’S PERSONALITY

Mama was absolutely royal. She never laughed loudly; she merely smiled. She could not get angry at all. She would say, “Lust, anger, ego etc. are the doorways to hell and so you children should not become angry.” If someone got annoyed in front of her, she would explain in a jovial manner, “Look, what would you call annoyance? It is anger, isn’t it? And anger is said to be a ghost. When I get angry, a ghost enters me. This is why you should never become a ghost yourself, that is, never become furious. No matter what happens, never get angry.”

If someone spoke too loudly, Mama would explain them lovingly — “You live in an ashram. It is not good for you to speak in a loud tone. You should speak softly and peacefully. One should speak very less and sweetly.” Even if someone had committed a big blunder, she would tell him or her, “Come here, was it right that this happened?” If someone had made a mistake, how could they possibly say it was all right? Mama would then say, “Please pay attention in future. Don’t let this mistake be repeated.” Mama never asked why the mistake occurred. What happened had happened, but she would lovingly give them the method and strength to reform themselves. In this way, she would transform the person’s heart with love and gentle cautioning.

I never had a divine vision but whenever I looked at Mama, I felt that she was definitely going to become Lakshmi; she was the Empress of the Golden Age. I did not do much service and lived like a princess. Mama would smile and tell me, “Go, daughter. Explain the knowledge to them. If you do seva (service), you will receive meva (reward). Mama thus taught me how to serve and give knowledge to others.

 

WHY WAS MAMA CHOSEN TO BE MOTHER OF THE YAGYA?

Mama was highly virtuous. She was an incognito tapasvini (intense yogi). She appeared to be ordinary but was in fact a mine of virtues. Throughout my life, I never saw Mama in an off-mood. She obeyed every word of Baba’s immediately and completely. Mama had a wondrous power to sustain. I called her “Ma” (Mother) or “Mama” and addressed my lokik mother as “Jashoda Maiyya” (Mother Jashoda). I had been brought up with much affection since my childhood. I didn’t know how to care for my personal needs. I couldn’t even make my own hair. I was like a princess and we had had servants who attended to every task at home. But Mama taught me to do everything, be it driving a vehicle, sharing knowledge, scrubbing utensils etc., and it was her power of love and sustenance that made this possible. It was these elevated sanskãrs, sweet nature, and divine virtues that made Mama, Mother of the Yagya. How can we claim or be heirs to Mama’s and Baba’s throne? Firstly, we should not make any mistake; let there not be a trace of lust, anger… and body-consciousness; constantly remain in the bodiless stage; remember Baba sincerely and do service. Only then can we claim a right to the throne.

 

A MESSAGE FOR THE BRAHMIN FAMILY

This is my message to the Brahmin family on behalf of Mama: She always said, “Anger is a ghost.” O Children of Baba, never become angry no matter what happens. Even if a great loss occurs at the hands of someone, explain or correct them with love.”
