In 1983 Shri Mataji came to New York and spent a week at the apartment of Herman and Judy Gaddy. Word went out that She was coming and yogis came from as far away as Vancouver to stay with Shri Mataji and have Her darshan. As Sahaja Yoga was quite new in America, it meant that there were only about thirty-five of us but it was quite a squeeze in that apartment.
She described the purpose of this visit as simply ‘a Mother’s love for Her children.’
