MOTHER AS REVELED TO ME
Maa Anandmayi's English Books
The author of this book, Sri Jyotish Chandra Ray, generally known as “Bhaiji” (elder brother), was greatly loved & revered by the devotees of Shree Shree Ma Anandamayee. He may tr-uly be called the Prince of Bhaktas. Whoever met him was impressed by the marked nobility of his character, his utter simplicity & rare spirit of service. Through his outstanding purity & self-effacement he was enabled to gain insight of un-usual depths. What maked ‘Matri Darshan’ so valuable is that it was written by one endowed with a high degree of underst-anding, to whom Mataji had ---to whatever large or small ext-ent --- actually revealed Herself. What Bhaiji him self felt, can be rendered best in his own words : (Sri Hari Ram Joshi)****

Introduction:- ONE OF THE MOST COMMON yet compelling questions posed by Western feminist theologians is, “How would our lives have been different if we been raised to believe that God was our mother, all loving and all powerful? This question has provoked a passionate interest in and nostalgia for ancient goddess cultures, such as those recently acknowledged to have flourished in the fertile valleys of Old Europe.1 It has also let to an interest in reappropriating ancient goddesses of all traditions to help women & men create alternative models of Ultimate Reality that better reflect the female experience. The prevailing assumption of feminist theologians has been that a move away from patriarchal images of God as father or king & toward powerful yet compassionate female religious images would empower women and create a more balanced and humane society.2 Feminist and liberation theologians committed themselves to reimagining a god or goddess who embraces and inspires all of his or her childern.3 Yet, ancient goddess are not the only resources for stimulating the reimagination of God as mother or for examining the impact on women & men of worshiping the diving feminine. India his one of the oldest continuous traditions of goddess worship in the world, and even today the Goddess is worshiped daily by many devout Hindus in both her multiplicity and her unity. The Great Goddess, or Mahadevi, is considered to have countless manifestaions worthy of worship, from the fiercely independent goddesses, such as Kali or Durga, to the benign consort goddesses, such as Lakshmi or Parvati. The Goddess, no matter what her form, is considered by her devotees to be an embodiment of shakti, the dynamic creative power of the universe. In her forms as village goddesses, she is usually propitiated for specific requests such as healing the sick or granting blessings blessings upon important life passages, for example, childbearing. As the Great Goddess, she is envisioned as Ultimate Reality, both transcendent and imminent, and as such, she is responsible for the creation, preservation, and destruction of the universe. Those who envision Ultimate Reality as Dive or Ma and worship her both for the pleasures of this world, or bhukti, and spiritual liberation, or mukti, are called Shaktas, or worshipers of the shakti, and comprise one of the three major sectarian divisions within the Hindu tradition.4………………………………………………………………………………… However, a recent upsurge of research has challenged this generalization. Western women scholars of the Hindu tradition have begun to respond to anthropologists from the developing world, such as Ifi Amadiume. Trinh Minh-ha, Vandana Shiva, & Leila Ahmed, who implore us to consider the multivalence of gender-related symbols, which, as Caroline Walker Bynum says, “may refer to gender in ways that affirm or reverse it support or question it, or may, in their basic meaning have little or nothing to do with male & female.”10 And finally, they ask us to “do-anthropologize” ourselves, to deconstruct our essentialist notion of “Hinduism” and of “woman,” and look at the lives of particular Hind women themselves. Many Western women historians of religion and anthropologists have begun to approach the study of women in the Hindu tradition with methodology based on attention to the particulars of women’s lives, as related by the women themselves.11 Some scholars have challenged notions about “Hindu women” by focusing on particular women who are members of certain castes in certain regions who have rejected and have chosen to live outside the realm of brahmanical dharma as renunciants, mendicants, and yoginis. The work of Lynn Teskey Denton & Catherine Ojha on women ascetics in Banaras, India, has shed light on women who renounce the world & lead relatively independent lives, either within orders or on their own.12 Furthermore, in predominantly Shakta communities, women recognized as avataras and those considered to have particular power by virtue of their level of shakti, or power, have risen to prominence as gurus and often have large followings of men & women. There is a burgeoning field of research on Shakti women gurus, of which this study is a part.13
