Reminiscences of The Holy Mother!!!

SWAMI APURVANANDA - 13

In the same letter Mahapurush Maharaj had asked for two towels. I bought two from the local market and sent them to him by registered post. On receiving them he wrote to me, “Today I received the two towels sent by you. Those on whom Mother bestows her grace are blessed. Go to her and offering pranam at her holy feet say, ‘Mother, have compassion on me.’ Thereafter, accept with humility whatever she graciously decides. If she is compassionate and imparts initiation to you, consider yourself fortunate indeed. She is the Mother of all of us. If you receive initiation from her, the purpose of your life is fulfilled. Know that I shall also be very happy. It is in the name of the Master that she will bestow on you – that is the name she gives to everyone.”

This letter intensified my longing for Mother’s darshan. I prayed fervently and an opportunity soon came my way. Having obtained a few days leave, I set out for her darshan.
