At times on earth, there appear persons like meteors
in the sky. Such persons register their presence as
sages, hermits, ascetics or mystics. The meteors appear
when the balance of gravitation between the heavenly
bodies gets disturbed. Similarly, the turmoil on our
mother earth summons such celestial bodies in flesh
and blood. Anandmurti Gurumaa is a rare meteor in the
galaxy of spiritual leaders.
Born on 8th of April 1966
at Amritsar, in Punjab her early life showed extraordinary
signs of a mystic in the making. She was born to a
family who had high devotion and love towards all religions
and saints. From the very beginning small incidents
would take place, which strengthened their belief that
the child born to them was not an ordinary one. Various
mystics would visit their house and showed special affection
for this child.
From the tender age of nine Gurumaa would ask different
questions from her school teachers and people around,
these people use to be held in surprise by her sharp
intellect and deep insight in spirituality. It was very
unlikely of the child of her age to ask such questions.
Gurumaa received her education from convent school. One
day a missionary came to her school to deliver lessons
on moral science. Gurumaa stood up and asked this missionary
a very deep question, who is God? Have you experienced
his presence? Are you reading about God from the scriptures
or whatever you are saying is your own experience. The
missionary did not answer anything and straight away went
to the principle of the school. Gurumaa was called in
the principle’s office. Gurumaa’s parents
were also called to the school. The missionary then requested
Gurumaa’s parents to give him the child as she is
an exceptional child who would spread the message of Christianity.
From very beginning Gurumaa showed a special affinity
towards seers. She would listen to their talks and would
ask them question. They would happily answer all her questions
as they knew that she was not asking the ordinary questions.
Gurumaa started composing poetry at a very early age.
These poetic expressions came from the depth of her heart.
They were her innocent offering to the divine where divine
was perceived as the beloved, and sometimes as friend.
She had travelled extensively with these mystics to
holy places of Haridwar and Vrindavan.
Gurumaa attained enlightenment in the age of sixteen
at holy place of Vrindavan. There after her love for
divine reached its ultimate blossoming.
She continued with her studies but her life was very
unlikely of a normal student. Immediately after attending
the school she would rush to the place where she had
to deliver satsang. People were drawn to her satsang
and made every endeavour to be part of that Amrit
Varsha. They experienced immense divine vibrations
and would swing to divine ecstasy under the influence
of her soul stirring voice.
Gurumaa left her home at the age of 21 and shifted her
presence in the mountain areas of Rishikesh.
Initially she confined herself to Rishikesh but subsequently
the fragrance of divine love spread itself and reached
the masses. Thirty seven years have passed since her
birth but the flame of divinity kindled by her is still
burning and lighting up the hearts of people all over
the globe. She is an antidote to the bruised hearts
of million.
Fortunate are the ones who are being guided by her
divine presence.
