Book Description
It gives us great pleasure to present this book, "Adi Devi- Jagadamba Saraswati", to our sisters and brothers. This book is a biography of Mother Saraswati, the great tapasvini, Brahmacharini (female ascetic) whose stage was devoid of even a trace of desires; she was the complete renunciate, unconditional server, and female- jewel adorned with all virtues and codes of conduct. Although she was a young (unmarried) girl, she became a loving Mother to over 350 children of the initial yagya, not to mention thousands of Brahma's children who came later on. She nurtured and sustained them with knowledge and yoga, decorated them with divine virtues, thus making them yogis and yogya (worthy). This book is a compilation of some experiences by the highly fortunate children (of the initital yagya, as well as those who emerged in the early years of Godly service) who took sustenance from her or came into her contact. These experiences have come from various sources: some were sent in writing or extracted from personal interviews, and others were derived from the archive of 'Gyan Amrit and 'The World Renewal' Monthly Publications. Audio tapes of lectures by Dadis and Dadas (Senior Sisters and Brothers), who are no longer with us, have been transcribed as well. Whilst relating their experiences with Mama, many brothers and sisters became lost in past memories; a few became emotional and shed pearls of love from their eyes. Some were so overcome with emotion that they were tongue-tied and had to excuse themselves for a few minutes! We even met some sisters whose eyes radiated a powerful sparkle when they talked about Mama. Every sister or brother said the same thing: "Mateshwari belonged only to me. She loved me the most." These sisters and brothers are truly multi-million fold fortunate for having practically seen, known, heard, and taken the lap of that Mother, Sustainer, First Shakti, Benefactor of All- Mateshwari! Once, in Pandav Bhawan courtyard, Brother Jagdish Chander was having a conversation with resident sisters and brothers of Madhuban, and said, "I am hundred-fold fortunate for having personally met Jagadamba Saraswati in my lifetime! The one whom people worship as the Goddess of Wisdom - what was she like? What were her specialities? It is very beneficial and indeed the greatest achievement of life to even listen to the experiences of those who have spent part of their life with her. No one should miss the opportunity of reading experiences by Senior Sisters and Brothers who have lived and personally heard Mama speak. They have seen Mother Saraswati's specialities, listened to her lullaby and sweet words, been blessed by her drishti, experienced coolness in her lap, received love and affection, and thereby progressed in life. Experiences are life's most invaluable treasures. According to drama, there are many who have been deprived of Mama's sustenance in the sakar (corporeal) form, and so, they should attentively listen to and read others' experiences of being in her company." Along with these motivational words from Brother Jagdish, our sources of inspiration have constantly been Respected Dadiji, Brother Nirwair and other Senior Brothers and Sisters. We offer them our gratitude and appreciation. We are grateful to the co-operative sisters and brothers, incognito and otherwise, who have made this book possible. And lastly, our thanks in million-fold to the main sources of inspiration behind this auspicious book-our Most Beloved Supreme Father, the Most Revered, Purest of all, Incorporeal Supreme Soul Shiva, and Supreme Mother Angelic Brahma Baba.
