Shri Mataji was concerned about this born realised soul
We were in Sheffield, in September 1985. Shri Mataji came onto the stage at a programme, and we, a handful of Sahaja Yogis, ran towards Her. She called me said there was a boy, the son of one of the Sahaja Yogis, who needed to improve his vibrations. Shri Mataji asked me if I could…

Gmunden, Austria, 8th July 1986 (diary entry)
At Gmunden, where the Guru Puja was celebrated there was the delightful setting, the efficient organisation and the beautiful nature, which gave the event a sense of how much we are changed for the better, of how much more perfect the arrangements were. Shri Mataji praised the preparation of the stage and said that whoever…

The Marina of Pietrasanta, July 1986 (diary entry)
Again this time was like a dream. From the moment Shri Mataji arrived and spoke to us at the Hotel Tropicana, at the Marina di Pietrasanta, to when She left three days later, we experienced that indescribable atmosphere which uniquely distinguishes time spent in Her presence.

A trip to Volterra
Today (July 1986), we left for Volterra to prepare a room for Shri Mataji at the Hotel San Lino.

We decorated Her armchair, arranged some flowers and She arrived earlier than expected. After a…

I was in the back of the car with Shri Mataji, who made various comments on people and the scenery. She spoke about a lady in Rome who had certain problems, and observing the countryside said that…

An amazing journey
In our two year engagement, we didn’t see each other very much, but on one occasion I went to London to see him. Shri Mataji was having a public programme at Versiliana. She used to go there every year. This was one of the first times and I was supposed to take the plane by…

We stayed at Shudy Camps
I had my realisation in May 1986 and it was such a unique and tremendous experience. One weekend we were all together with Shri Mataji, and She gave an interview to a well-known Italian journalist at ‘la Versiliana’ an open air café where She has done many public programmes, and after that we had a…

The timing was perfect
There is a song in the songbook, Jerusalem II. We sang it to Shri Mataji when She came to Shudy Camps for the Shri Bhumi Devi Puja 1986, when the house was finished. Someone was playing the piano and quite a few of us were standing in this room by the piano. ‘Last night as…
