Anandamayi Ma

have you considered sitting quietly in her presence, even though she does not currently have a body?

I never heard of her beyond Paramahansa Yogananda mentioning their meeting. He believed she was a living goddess.

I think you'll like this, Treetop...

I would love to sit in the presence of someone like her and feel the vibes!

Sri Amritanandamayi is in London on 16th and 17th of Novemeber. Sunanda could tell you more about her...

I am now reading this biography of her and wished I had met her as she only just died in the 1980s. So amazing. I would love to sit in the presence of someone like her and feel the vibes!

Hi
It is not her/his presence that one needs to sit in, it is pure presence itself one needs to sit with - which is available at all times. Wishing to have met her or Buddha or Jesus is an old trick mind plays to avoid doing just that. There is always someone who has attained to pure presence/emptiness whether we can see that or not.

'Feeling that vibe' depends entirely on one's intensity to open up to grace. When that desire is on the boiling point in an individual the right guru/master/guide comes along.
Even reading about her will open something in you, as the presence/emptiness is not contained in a body...

I do agree with you, Jnani.

When a great soul is present in human form though, and makes themself available to the public, they are tempting us towards the Divine. Being in their presence is a blessing (though that's not to say blessings aren't available wherever we are).
