This is the first volume of personal experiences of people who were fortunate to spend time in the presence of Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Through these stories one experiences the incredible outpouring of her divine love, and the tireless energy with which she spread this joy to the world. This volume deals mainly with the first ten years of her mission to give en masse self realisation, mostly in India, where she began this great work in 1970, and England, to where she moved in 1974. Over eighty people contributed to this volume, and their diverse voices show how she transformed their lives, and how they have attempted to honour her memory simply, sincerely and profoundly.
