LISA PRAJNA HALLSTROM is a teacher, singer, and spiritual mentor with a PhD in Hinduism and Buddhism from Harvard University. In 1990, Prajna spent a year in India researching her first book on Ma, Mother of Bliss: Anandamayi Ma (1896-1982), a trip from which she returned Ma’s devotee. This precious collection of Ma’s words, Ma’s gospel, is the fruit of seven years of editing and in some cases retranslating transcriptions of Ma’s satsangs, based on tapes in the Anandamayi Ma Archive at Harvard Divinity School.
