  • An ancient swayambhu

    An ancient swayambhu

    At the Diwali Puja in 2001 I had the opportunity to ask Shri Mataji about the Ale Stenar (Ale’s Stones) which are situated at a forty minute drive from Malmö in the south of Sweden. I asked Shri Mataji what it was. She answered that She had to go there to decide what it was. Then…

  • A love attack

    A love attack

    In November 2001, Shri Mataji expressed a desire, after the 9/11 attacks, that a minimum of 800 yogis should come to America for the Diwali Puja. A big group came from Austria and we were split on two flights, one on Alitalia, the other on Swissair. Two days before the departure we came to know…

  • The transformation of humanity

    The transformation of humanity

    When Shri Mataji returned from Navaratri Puja in Greece, in 2001, it was very late at night, but nevertheless, our compassionate and ever caring Mother invited all of us staying at Cabella into the big room. She looked out across the valley, out of the big windows of the large reception room and one could…

    The air-conditioning was not on

    We were in Athens in October 2001. It was a warm evening and Shri Mataji was giving a public programme in a hotel there. At the end of the programme, Shri Mataji gave the experience of self realisation. Nearly all the people who had come for the first time said they had indeed felt a…

    I could help the Adi Shakti

    It was in Athens, after the Navaratrii Puja 2001. Shri Mataji was about to leave the stage. There was a little step at the side, and it would have been easy not to see it and fall. Shri Mataji could not see the step. ‘It is here, it is there,’ the people near Her said,…

    A lesson

    At Navaratri Puja 2001, I was one of two American yogis fortunate enough to come to Greece after the tragedy of September 11th. I was very overwhelmed to be able to go to Mother’s Feet and offer the present from USA to Mother. I was with a very good, very sensible yogini. We were waiting…

  • The human behaviour of the Goddess

    The human behaviour of the Goddess

    I call this story the human behaviour of the Goddess. It happened at a Navaratri Puja, in Greece in 2001. I went to this puja with another Brazilian yogini, Francisca, one of the first yogis in Brazil. I used to have long hair and decided to cut it very short. Then, I had the idea…

  • Mother’s message for Ireland

    Mother’s message for Ireland

    After Navaratri Puja in Greece in 2001 I went up to the stage along with the rest of the Irish collective to offer the national gift to Mother. When we had offered the gift to Her, She said this. It is not an exact quote but very close to what Mother said, as I remember. ‘Any island…

  • A letter to the President of the USA

    A letter to the President of the USA

    Concerning a letter Shri Mataji sent to George Bush: ‘Did you see the letter which was sent to the President?’ Shri Mataji said. After that his speech was so good. Anonymous

  • The Irish peace process

    The Irish peace process

    Seamus Harten went to a puja with some new people from Ireland and a conversation took place between Shri Mataji and one of the new ladies. ‘We need peace,’ Shri Mataji said. Very soon after that the peace process started in Northern Ireland. It seemed impossible that this could happen but it did and it…
