A Love That Began Before Birth
My connection with Ma Anandamayee, whom I simply called “Ma”, began even before I took my first breath. My parents were Her devoted children and their love for Her became the first prayer I ever knew. Our family vacations were not spent at beaches or hill stations but in the sacred silence of Her ashrams, where the air itself hummed with divinity.
As a child, I didn’t understand who She was; only that Her presence meant warmth, sweets and an inexplicable joy. I was too young to grasp the depth of Her grace, but She knew me completely. Often, She would tell my father, “She doesn’t realise she is a Rishi Kanya (a sage’s child).” And how could I? My world was glittering with the lights of Bollywood, where I thrived as an actress, far removed from the whispers of the soul.
The Divine Interruption
Ma left Her physical form in 1982, but true love transcends time. In 1995, She returned; not in flesh, but in visions so vivid, so alive, that my disbelief shattered. For eight miraculous months, She visited me, guiding me, pulling me gently into a world I had never sought but was always meant for.
A skeptic turned seeker, I began scribbling down every revelation, every divine whisper. Stories poured through me—moments of grace, miracles tucked into ordinary days and a love so vast it rewrote my destiny. From Neeta Mehta, the actress, to Swami Nityanand Giri, the sannyasi—such a leap could never be my own doing. It was Her. Only Her.
A Book Born From the Heart
“In Love with the Divine Mother Shree Shree Ma Anandamayee” is not just a book. It is a japa mala of memories, a sacred offering of 108 glimpses into Her boundless love. Each page is adorned with rare photographs of Ma, making it more than a read. It is a darshan, a blessing to be treasured in your altar, your heart and your hands.
If you’ve ever longed to feel the touch of the Divine, to witness how grace can turn a life inside out, this book is your invitation. Come. Sit with these stories. Let Ma’s love find you just as it found me.
Jai Ma!
Swami Nityanand Giri
