  • Gone away

    Gone away

    Gone away, the days I feel the night stronger than ever Whispering a dream in red I can see colour as She sleeps Far away with lotuses a kingdom is welcoming a queen Dawn and day are the same no time left in between I come from a place where people talk in whispers Gentle…

  • A humbling experience

    A humbling experience

    A polished wood coffin, closed, was what my eyes rested upon at midnight on Sunday. No thoughts that this was the last time came into my head then. All I felt was the flood of vibrations blasting towards me – through me. My dad knelt down to pray. So did my sister and the rest…

    Worldwide homage to the Great Mother

    On the 26th February 2011, a silent crowd of thousands of people from all the corners of the world was lining up under a grey sky on the country road of a remote valley in the Ligurian hills of Italy. Standing motionless in dignified silence for several hours, they sang softly and threw petals of…

  • Genoa, Christmas 2010

    Genoa, Christmas 2010

    Little did we all realize that this was the last puja to Shri Mataji in Her physical form. It was also different from other pujas; Shri Mataji seemed to enter into a state of deep sleep and silence. Her right Foot was held up. During the puja, seven of us from our country went on…

  • Navaratri 2010

    Navaratri 2010

    I have not experienced a puja anything like the nine nights of Navaratri at Cabella in 2010. The nine nights are about worship of the Goddess – and that is exactly what it was. Every moment was only for this. On the second evening, like the first night, representatives from each country were invited to…

  • Mother is the doer

    Mother is the doer

    In 2010, just before Diwali Puja, we went to India. Our return day was just one day before the Diwali Puja at Cabella and I wanted to attend it, but initially my husband was not in favour. However later he agreed and got me a ticket. Just after, we went to our aunty’s house in…

    There are no questions: September 2010

    A yuva friend asked me to join him on a trip to Cabella for Ganesh Puja, as he had had a dream of us being together there and meditating in front of Mother. It was my sixth year in Sahaja Yoga, and I decided to go. As a seeker going to see his Guru Mata…

  • The Divine had a plan: Cabella, 2010

    The Divine had a plan: Cabella, 2010

    On that particular weekend, I had plans to go to Scotland to celebrate my birthday with my family but Edinburgh Airport was closed and I ended up staying in Cabella. I wasn’t upset because this happened to be the same weekend Shri Mataji was returning from India to Italy. The yogis in the villa had…
