One visit to the Gaddy’s apartment in New York with Shri Mataji was for the Shri Ekadesha Rudra Puja in 1983. There was a beautiful talk where She talks about how the destructive powers are to be used for transformation; that is their purpose.
After watching the Star Wars movie Rustom Burjorjee summarized it for Shri Mataji by saying the Force, from the movie, is like the Shakti, and that Shri Mataji said these ideas have definitely come from the unconscious. My additions to Patrick Redican’s story about watching this movie with Shri Mataji is that the little creatures were the characters called ‘Smurfs’ and Shri Mataji said they were the ganas; that they looked just like that and particularly their little noses. At the end of the puja, the Gaddy children collected their little toy Smurfs (they had quite a lot of them) and brought them in and had them all placed in the namaskar position in a semi-circle around at Shri Mataji’s Feet. She did it for the sake of the children, I think; Judy’s children whom She dearly loved.
