The Mother of All- Homage to Mother Krishnabai

On the occasion of the 115'" Jayanti, we joyfully present the compilation of precious words of guidance of our Pujya Mataji Krishnabai. When we think of Mataji, we can only see her as The Mother of All. Even after scaling the heights and reaching the spiritual summit, Beloved Papa Swami Ramdas says that she never sat on a high pedestal but instead came down as an earthly mother to all, taking care of the worldly as well as spiritual needs of her children.

The legacy she has left behind in Anandashram - the way it is run, its principles, and its vision - is an ample proof of her all loving attitude to one and all. Pujya Swami Satchidanandaji used to share with us that everything that is being done in the Ashram even today - whether it is the daily routine or the various -unlettered norms on the administrative - front - are those that were laid down by Mataji.

Whatever she uttered came from the depths of her experience - there has never been even one instance of tall talk. Rightly, Beloved Papa himself said she is the chosen deity of Ashram.

In most cases in this booklet, Pujya Mataji used to mention the word `Beloved Papa' when she was referring to the indwelling and all-pervading Lord of the universe. For her, Guru stood for the personal aspect of God.

We reverentially offer this small compilation, of the loving and insightful messages from Pujya Mataji to all of us, at her holy feet and pray to her to bless us to have at least some glimpses of her universal vision.
