I will say that Anandamayi Ma, if indeed who MMY brought with him to our TTC, glowed like a light bulb. It is a face I'll never forget. Some folks insist she never left India so maybe MMY smuggled her out or she traveled at the speed of thought to Europe. The woman he brought with him looks like Ma's pictures. My tantra teacher also visited her and said she was a very kind and humble soul. Folks on the TTC called her "Maharishi's girlfriend." ;-) Baghavan Das once said that he thought it was easier to do sadhana in the US than in India. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
