Mother Meera

I have taken down my own pages on Mother Meera. The article that was posted here can be found in the archives of the magazine Kindred Spirit.

Otherwise my book In Search of the Divine Mother can be found as a used and new copy on the net, through the likes of Amazon and abe.books. The book became snarled in legal wrangles but I reckon it's honest and positive from its 1998 perspective. My own visits started in 1991. The insights drawn from my researches around the formative places of Mother Meera's upbringing in southern India will likely stay unique, since even if access is granted places and people will not be the same again. Were I to rewrite it I would change some of my comments on the Aurobindo ashram but otherwise don't know that I would change much. The story still strikes me as accurate. Readers tell me it has been inspirational for them. I found westerners started out on an Indian devotional path with a great deal of naivety and lack of information. The book was my attempt to supply that information, learned first hand. I placed some photos of Mother Meera's birth village in the April 2006 archive of my blog, 'so you want to be a writer'. For news of the upcoming visit my Mother Meera to America, visit: The Darshan America website. You might also care to dance around my website for other writings - particularly on sacred mountains.

The latest information I have for contacting Mother Meera is by letter: Mother Meera, Oberdorf 4a, 65599 Dornburg-Thalheim, Germany. Tel: +49 69362305, 7 days a week between 1100 and 1600 local time.

If this is a stage on your journey, I wish you all the strength, love and change you are seeking.
