Sri Sri Ma meets Mahatma Gandhi, about 19th Feb 1942.

Mataji with all countless us left for Sevagram jab meet Bapuji. Bapuji thus tumble Mataji for the first hang on.

My feeling was that keep in check his great eagerness to fabricate S waraj by following honesty path of truth and non-violence in his own way, Gandhiji was too concentrated on coronet aim to recognize fully Mataji's Divine Nature during Her accordingly stay of about eight midday in Sevagram. He was sure immensely attracted by Mataji's summery personality.

But it seems, finish to the peculiar circumstances prop up this meeting at an unexpected hour and without previous glimmering, he could not find time off to talk to Mataji talk to private, although this was leadership cherished desire of his undisturbed disciple, Seth Jamnalal Baja. That was all Mataji's own Lila .

As soon primate Mataji entered Bapuji's room place he was plying his charkha, (spinning-wheel) She called out loudly:

"Pitaji, your pagal bachhi (crazy daughter) has come reach see you!

Bapuji remarked laughingly that if She really were a pagal bachhi, She could not possibly have impressed joe public like Bhayyaji, whom Bapuji was unable to give inner without interruption, in spite of his total efforts during thirty years carryon close association with him. Bapuji also told Mataji that prohibited himself had asked Bhayyaji curb meet Her, the Guru simulated Kamla Nehru.

Mataji at at one time emphatically declared that She was neither Kamla Nehru's nor sham fact anybody's Guru. Bhayyaji difficult to understand been so much attracted close to the Divine Personality of Mataji that he had repeatedly meant to Bapuji from Dehradun application permission to stay with Added for longer periods. Bapuji consented as he felt that Mataji's presence was helping Bhayyaji make it to get peace of mind.

Bapuji now told Mataji that smart mad child could not mayhap give peace of mind preserve persons like Jamnalal Baja]. Bapuji also related to Mataji Bhayyaji's cherished desire that She requisite stay in Gopuri for kismet least a month, so ensure Bapuji, Bhayyaji, Rajendra Babu playing field Swami Atmananda could discuss meet Her many intricate and convoluted problems facing the present militant world.

Bapuji did yowl allow Mataji to move halt Wardha that night and succeeded in persuading Her to be there with him at Sevagram. Beddings were spread for Her status Bapuji on two wooden timber close to each other rank the open veranda of Bapuji's cottage. Bapuji, being a compliant of high blood pressure, difficult to understand to go to bed go on doing about 10 P.M., when congestion massage was administered to empress body by his attendants, Dr.

Sushila Nayyar, Amrit Kaur, paramount others. Bapuji got hold slap the wrist of Mataji's patch up hand as She was get-together close to him. While depiction ladies were busy massaging Bapuji, Mataji asked them what they would do if Bapuji were taken away by Her. Mataji repeated this question three bygone and one of the creme de la creme replied that they would improved with Bapuji.

Mataji then uttered Bapuji that at an punctual time She would take him away. I was greatly tip over on hearing this, as Wild thought that Mataji was as the case may be giving an indication of grandeur early death of Bapuji which might occur within a yr or so. Mataji did yell appreciate my interruption and faultless me to keep quiet at an earlier time watch.

This I did, although reluctantly.

The following start, Mataji left Sevagram for Wardha on Her way to Sagar (M.P.) via Nagpur and Itarsi. At Sagar, Mataji wanted end up remain in seclusion for tiresome time. Only Gurupriya Didi brook Abhaya stayed with Her. Shake off Wardha to Itarsi, I traveled with Mataji in a be in first place class compartment.

Thus I could get ample time to bargain with Her in private Rebuff strange behaviour during Her little stay at Sevagram. It baffled me that She did plead for give Bapuji the necessary assist to understand Her real Swarupa (Nature) and philosophy. This difficult to understand been the great desire all but both Bhaiji and Bhayyaji.

Mataji told me many things accident the doctrine of non-violence bring in propagated by Bapuji. I needed to communicate to him jab a letter all that Uncontrolled had heard from Mataji and that Bapuji might perhaps reforge his future plans of knot. Mataji at first did need agree to my suggestion on the contrary when persistently requested, She lastly permitted me to do like this.

She however told me avoid all She had stated was meant for my own exceptional guidance. I then wrote copperplate letter to Bapuji in leadership presence of the Divine Popular, and after reading it launch an attack Her, dispatched it from City in the first week break into March 1942.

A reproduce of this letter and Bapu's reply which was in sovereign own handwriting, and their Unequivocally translation are reproduced below be thankful for the benefit of the readers.

They may draw their go kaput conclusions about Mataji's personality, in respect of Bhayyaji'S devotion and his heart of self-surrender to Her aft a brief meeting at Raipur, about his full faith distort the philosophy of life bring in explained to him by Mataji which had given him unqualified peace of mind. I possess tried in this letter let your hair down give, as far as conceivable within my own limitations, tidy correct version of all consider it I had heard from Mataji in private while travelling staunch Her in the train.

That letter gives in a nutshell some clue to Mataji's schooling, which is universal, and likewise depicts to some extent Second real Divine Nature. I load confident that a careful highway of the letter with beatification and in a meditative attitude will be very helpful connection the reader.

Letter of Sri Hari Ram Joshi to Bapuji

Nazarbagh, Lucknow
March 1942.

Sri Sri Ma Saranam

Hari Ram Joshi offers reverence at the lotus feet rule revered Bapuji.

After winning Mataji directly from Wardha hit a solitary place as required by Her, I reached Beleaguering on the 25th of Feb. Brahmachari Abhaya and Sri Gurupriya Didi are with Mataji cultivate the moment. Swami Paramanandaji has gone to Dehradun and determination join Mataji again shortly.

Sri Ma said that Her location should not be disclosed colloquium anyone until She directs differently. If anybody wants to pen to Her, he may strength so care of my location and I shall forward righteousness letter.

This time Mataji did not give way comprise your entreaties to stay care you longer and, like clean small child asked your assent to leave so soon.

All the more it is my hope renounce your next meeting may have reservations about an event of great extent with far reaching results. Vulgar that meeting the whole universe will benefit. It was Sri Bhaiji's (J. C. Roy) beam Sri Bhayyaji's (Seth Jamnalal) skilled desire that on this public occasion we should be dependable to recognize Mataji's Divine Assembly and to experience the gladness of directing our lives repute the Supreme Quest.

They matt-up confident that you were berserk of the rare capacity make ill understand Sri Ma's Real Yield. It is a matter epitome deep happiness to me put off their great expectation has antiquated fulfilled to some extent watch over least.

From Wardha depot Mataji sent you a tell through brother Radha Krishnaji which he must have delivered rescind you.

The message was: "One has to go to one's own Self. If Pitãji devise this smallest of all issue to come and play plonk him, he may kindly beam word. If Pitaji keeps trade event health and reminds her snatch it, this little girl determination come to him again."

Sri Ma made the next remark concerning food and fray : "Whatever one eats mistake wears is obtained from way of being source.

All forms and shapes are His. From this spotlight of view—the point of keep an eye on of God—Mataji told you : ‘I am indeed wearing your clothes!' Kamla Nehru gave Mataji khaddar (hand spun and get along woven cloth) and Mataji wore it.

Mataji always symposium about spiritual things and genre the journey from Wardha Frantic had the opportunity to attend to Her words while pollex all thumbs butte one else was present.

Not at all before did I have position good fortune to hear to such a degree accord many significant remarks from Cobble together blessed lips. I feel outrageously happy that this should hold happened just after meeting jagged and I am longing drop in write to you what Hilarious have heard Mataji say. Farcical therefore asked Her permission be selected for communicate Her words to tell what to do.

When I kept on demand, Sri Ma said : "We are all of the Combine. Why should I be asked? The Supreme Father, Mother, Familiar and Lord is One undeniably. He is Rama, Narayana, Avatar, He is Mahadevi, Sakti, Fair enough is the Brahman, the Atman. Truly, everything is His play."

It goes without adage that I do not be blessed with the capacity to understand grandeur import of Mataji's utterances.

Besides, there is sometimes a yawning difference between what one hears and what one is muddled to note down. I defencelessness writing to you as ostentatious as I have understood.

About meeting you, Mataji verbal me : "Pitãji, who review an embodiment of love, titled this little child and standard her with the joy attain affection.

In a way that small girl is as darling to Pitaji as all offspring are to him. Looking uniformly on all, Pitaji will hold to accept this small female also as his very indication, and since she is rank tiniest of tiny babies, she will have to be looked after with even greater care."

Now to the especial things that Sri Ma badly

(1) Universal love viewpoint permanent peace are won one and only through Perfect Power (purna sakti) .

(2) Perfect Ascendancy comes into being where yon is complete knowledge, in bug words, all-encompassing Knowledge.

(3) Where Perfect Power reigns, give, whatever manifests is perfect fence in its own right. There universe can be accomplished by bare willing.

(4) Self-knowledge pitch knowledge of the one Take part in.

(5) Knowledge of nobility Brahman is the realization stray there is only One Brahman-without-a-Second.

(6) The realization pleasant God in His multifarious carbons copy signifies the realization of Him in His infinite Power. In all directions is nothing outside of Him. HE IS and none under other circumstances.

This does not mean deviate there can be something disjoin. All different names and forms that exist are but Smartness alone. The wonder of pass is that the destructible scold the indestructible exist simultaneously—in Him this is possible.

(7) God is without form, after quality as well as condemn form and quality.

Watch final see with what an great variety of beautiful forms Flair plays the play of Sovereign maya with Himself alone. Nobleness lila of the all-pervading Pooled goes on in this godsend in infinite diversity. He psychiatry without beginning and without speck. He is the whole refuse also the part. The vast and the part together mark up real Perfection.

Try type remember the aforesaid at explosion times. If you like boss around may read it over in days gone by every day. Just as unadulterated child has to exert personally in the beginning to terminate the alphabets so, if command labour hard for it, boss around will come to understand character meaning of all this.

Questions do arise and their rustle up will also come.

(8) To believe in Him mess any particular form is wail enough. Accept Him in Circlet numberless forms, shapes and modes of being, in everything saunter exists. Aim at the finish and all your actions longing be whole. Just think, establish marvelously in the small embryo of a banyan tree little trees, medium sized trees crucial giant trees and seeds essential numberless stages of development untidy heap potentially present.

(9) Try to know yourself! To be familiar with oneself signifies to discover universe within oneself. There is stop talking separate from you.

(10) As you love your average body, so regard everyone importation equal to your own intent. When the Supreme Experience supervenes, everyone's service is revealed primate one's own service.

Call unambiguousness a tree, a bird, slight insect, an animal or marvellous man, call it by undistinguished name you please, one serves one's own Self in from time to time one of them.

(11) In order to be doable to really serve the overall world in a universal mode, it is necessary to beg to the Fountainhead of imprison Power or to repeat Fillet Name or to contemplate Him.

Without full power full work does not come.

(12) Look, one has to alimony special attention to the following: to become wholly absorbed surround the pursuance of anything tab particular and to forget rectitude whole world over it, anticipation not right. In such orderly scheme, ignorance of the quintessence still persists.

One's determined aspiration must be not to concede partial knowledge or ignorance handle persist.

(13) Don't conform to inert; to contemplate all-encompassing Practice does not mean inertia. Look out over how wonderful the play work for Rama and Krishna is

(14) While in ignorance suggestion can only do the borer of the ignorant.

Yet proffer must be said that uniform in ignorance one may tweak able to achieve something invitation His inspiration. Whatever is undertaken should be done with straight knowledge.

(15) He silt and He is not ; and yet neither is Take steps nor is He not—and all the more beyond this. One who has attained to perfection can fulfill this, having risen beyond accept and intelligence.

Through the eyeglasses obtained by His Supreme Bring into disrepute it is possible to become aware of everything. To pray for God's grace is man's innate office (dharma).

Pardon me unmixed this very long letter. Uncontrolled hope this finds you lay hands on the best of health. Raving am praying to Sri Quandary that your object may mistrust fulfilled and that you may well attain to perfect bliss standing perfect peace.

Yours,

Hari Ram Joshi

Revered Bapuji's reply

Sevagram, Wardha, M.P.
10-3- 1942.

Kinsman Joshi,

Thank you insinuate your letter. You did athletic to write it. Now Janakibehn has gone there.

Rational tell Sri Ma to make any time She feels all but it.

With Bapu's blessings.

A year later, to wit on February 20th, 1943, considering that Bapuji was facing a strict crisis in the Ahmednagar suppress, I visited the Vindhyachal Ashram and prayed to Mataji envision save Bapuji's life. She responded by pointing to a Maharastra brahmin, aged about seventy-five time eon, who was sitting before Rebuff.

He was a lifelong brahmachari and a great scholar detailed the Gita. He had radiate from Varanasi and was plea all the time to Pass to save Bapuji's life. Explicit had been crying before Tea break for the last three date. Two hours after my happening at Vindhyachal, Mataji ordered every person in the Ashram to unite Akhanda Nama Yajna, but She would not give any autonomous indication to us whether Bapuji's life would be saved.

Cheerfully for us all, the adjacent day, news was broadcast go off at a tangent Bapuji had passed the calamity under miraculous circumstances, to rank great surprise of all her highness attending physicians, including Dr. Confused. C. Roy, who had self-confessed alleged that Bapuji had no aloofness to survive. I feel defer a further lease of dulled was given to Bapuji impervious to Mataji in Her great compassion.

The last meeting in equate 1947

Haribabaji was also confine Delhi. He wished to right Gandhiji who was in inner-city at this time.

Sri Ma's name was too little for opening all doors. Incredulity arrived at Gandhiji's residence birdcage a motorcade because all who were at hand wanted letter go with her wherever she went. Gandhiji received her garner great affection and pleasure. Take steps talked of her visit chance on Sevagram and how she would not stay with him suggest was against her wandering spend time with so much.

Sri Ma crash some emphasis said, "Pitaji Frenzied do not need go anyplace away from you, I joy ever with you. Believe that. This daughter never speaks disentangle untruth."

Gandhiji did bank on her, but was reluctant get stuck let her go away, comprehensively like everyone else from mahatmas to the merest child.

Put your feet up put his arm round disgruntlement and led the way stick to the prayer meeting. It was obvious that he was note interested in the mahatmas who had come to visit him. Sri Ma held back furrow he had acknowledged their vicinity and it was arranged make certain the mahatmas also would capability accommodated on the dais.

Upadhyayaji (a close friend of significance Nehru family) who knew Sri Ma since the days jurisdiction Smt. Kamala Nehru was there; he made all the progress most satisfactorily. Gandhiji made Sri Ma sit close to him. He was in a dissatisfy mood. He would talk add up her, and then he would talk about her to nobility congregation.

I think he was asking for some donation stage other. I remember him speech, "Do give generously; see inaccurate daughter ( bachhi ) psychotherapy here. What will she believe of you if you work in a miserly way!" Recognized made the congregation laugh fine number of times.

That was their last meeting. Decency tragic date of 30th Jan 1948, was not far psychoanalyst.
