This book was written at the request of the mahant of our ashram to fulfill a particular need. There aer many beautiful and authoritative book written about the life and teaching of Shree Shree Maa Anandamayee Ma. But it seems all the existing books aer rather lengthy, somewhat expenisve and only available from a limit 1qed number of sources. It appeared that what was lacking was a brief biogeaphy that included the high points of Ma's life, with a few suitable illustrations, that retained, brevity. Such a book could be widely distributed, purchased cheaply, read briefly, and hopefully begin to acquaint people with the divine life of the Personage known as Anandamayee Ma.
