Mâ Ananda Moyî (1896-1982) was certainly the most respected Indian woman of the twentieth century. From a small child, she was considered in her native Bengal to be an extraordinarily luminous being. Very quickly, thousands, even millions of people came to receive the blessing of the darshan from her, the transfiguring contact with a spiritual master. Her teaching, usually silent, made no reference to any dogma, and reached well beyond the different schools of Hinduism. Heads of state, sanskritists, monks, men and women of all religions travelled from the four corners of the world to visit her. The Joy emitted by Mâ appeared to be the ineffable Felicity alluded to by the great mystics, whose roots are found deep in the intuition of non-duality.
