About Sri Ma Anandamayi for a span of more than 50 years Ma Anandamayi treaded gracefully the spiritual horizon of India--and in her wake followed top dignitaries, as well as the lowliest of the `lowly, enchanted by her gently dispensationof wisdom and love to all... To the man in the street she was the guru and confidante of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. All V.I.Ps visiting India made an appointment withehr an item in their itineraries. No big religious function was held anywhere in the country without an invitation to her gracious and radiant presence on the dais. About Author : The atuhor Dr. Bithika Mukerji (M.A., D.Phil. Allahabad University, Ph.D. McMaster University, Canada) was associated with Sri Ma Anandamayi, Since her childhood. She wrote her first biography of Sri Ma Anandamayi in 1964, which has long been out of print. It is generally acknowledged that she has a special flair for understanding Sri Ma Anandamayi`s way of being in the world. Ms Blance Sehlamm, the first editor of Ananda Varta, tended to use Dr. Mukerji as a tuning fork for checking the translations of Sri Ma Anadamayi`s vani. Richard Lannoy (author of Anadamayi, Element Books, England) writes that she is "a valian and loyal interpreter." Her personal knowledge of people and incidents she is writing about, her deep commitment and painstaking research add up to a quality of authenticity to be appreciated by the cognoscenti.
