The samyam vrata of one day :- Sri Ma said. If possible make a resolve to dedicate one day in one week (or one month) to the spiritual quest. The day should be devoted to japa, path (reading of scriptures) dhyana & kirtan (if one is so inclined). On the day, eat sparingly, speak only when necessary. Watch your own actions & words to avoid the least wrong-doing or incorrect statement. Emotions should be under control. One should look upon children as child-manifestations of the Divine. (bal-Gopala), one’s husband or wife, not only as an object of love but reverence as well. Try to render service to all members of the family including servants, in a spirit of humility (seva-bhava). Even if there should be occasions for anger or other provocations, one should respond with calmness & not be jolted out of a tranquil frame of mind. There will be failures in the beginning but one should persevere till the goal of perfect samyams (control) in thought, speech & action is achieved. Even if one member of the family practices this vrata the entire family will feel the calming effect of that one day.” The Coming Paramananda: After the Death of Bhaiji Sri Ma had “seen” the face of a young sadhu in a vision. It had seemed to her, “One has gone, another is coming”. She sometime visualized future events in this way. In the summer of 1937 Bholanath had met Paramananda on the road in front of the Kishenpur Ashram. Bholanath recognized him as the youg sadhu he had met previously at Uttarkashi. Bholanath invited him in & introduced him to Sri Ma. She recognized the face of her vision. She said, “If you ever feel inclined you may come to me wherever I am”. Paramananda acknowledged the gracious invitation but then he was not prepared to settle down anywhere. He went back to Uttarkashi. He had lived for many years in Gangotri (summer) & Uttarkashi (winter) practicing his sadhana & studying the scriptures with the learned mahatmas, notably Devigiriji Maharaj. Sri Ma had met him again at Gangotri (May 1939) After about six months of this meeting Paramananda came in search of her to Vindhychal (January 1940) & quietly joined her entourage. Seth Jamnalal Bajaj:- Seth Jamnalal Bajaj was one of the very notable leaders of those times. He was known to be the powerful right hand man of Mahatma Gandhi. In the summer of 1941 he came to DehraDun to meet Jawaharlal Nehru who was in jail in this town. He also went up to Mussoorie to enquire about the welfare of Indira, a young school girl at the time. After discharging these duties on behalf of Gandhiji he came to meet Sri Ma at Raipur Ashram. For some time he had been struggling with inner doubts & wrestling with spiritual disquiet. Gandhiji unable to answer his satisfactorily had said, “ Go & meet Kamala’s guru Anandamayi Ma, while you are in Dehra Dun. Mayde she will help you.” Sri Anandamayee Ma visits Sevagram:- Sri Ma however came to Wardha about a week later, accompanied by Paeamananda, Didi, Abhaya & Hari Rama Joshi. Ma in her inimitable style assuaged the grief of Janakiben, Jamnalal’s wife. To her lamentations that Sri Ma had come when he was not there to greet her, she said, “Why do you think he is not here? I have come to meet him as well as all of you. You must all behave as he would have wished you to do.” Perhaps Sri Ma had chosen the best moment for visit, when all was in disarray. Jamnalal had taken refuge at feet. So she came to uphold his family at their time of utter distress. Sri Ma took up her abode in the tiny hut where Jamnalal had spent much of his time in the last six months. Janakiben came to join her there. Ma lightened the burden of grief weighing on the heart of the poor lady. Her son Kamalnayan was constantly in attendance. Sri Ma answered their anguished questions & amoothed over their of bewilderment; she conversed with them for long about the beloved departed one. In time Janakiben & Kamalnayan began to look more settled & at peace. Sri Ma’s presence exercised its usual effect of apreading peace & tranquility. The people who came on visity of condolence sat near her & found peace.
