In the serene landscapes of Chandepally, a small village in the heart of India, a divine saga unfolded, marking the advent of an extraordinary soul – Mother Meera, born Kamala Reddy on December 26, 1960. Her life, shrouded in mysticism, is revered by devotees worldwide as the embodiment of the Divine Mother, the eternal Shakti or Devi.
Mother Meera’s Origins and Spiritual Awakening
At the tender age of six, Mother Meera purportedly experienced her first samādhi, a state of profound spiritual absorption that endured for an entire day. This mystical encounter heralded the dawn of her spiritual journey, paving the path for her divine purpose.
Raised in the embrace of her loving parents, Antamma and Veera Reddy, in Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh, her childhood was intertwined with mystical experiences that hinted at her celestial calling.
It was her uncle, Bulgur Venkat Reddy, who recognized the divine essence within her. Convinced that she was the Divine Mother incarnate, he became her guardian, nurturing her spiritual evolution and facilitating her encounters with the inner realms.
Embarking on a Spiritual Odyssey
In 1974, guided by her uncle, Mother Meera embarked on a pivotal journey to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India, where she commenced her divine mission. Here, amidst the tranquil ambiance of the ashram, she encountered Western devotees for the first time and commenced the sacred ritual of darshan, bestowing silent blessings upon seekers.
In 1981, Mother Meera embarked on her transformative voyage to West Germany, accompanied by her uncle and devoted companion, Adilakshmi. Settling in Germany, she radiated her divine grace, touching the hearts of countless souls seeking spiritual solace.
The Sacred Ritual of Darshan
Central to Mother Meera’s divine ministry is the ritual of darshan, a sacred communion conducted in profound silence. Thousands flock to her presence, transcending religious divides, as she bestows her blessings through a gentle touch and a penetrating gaze.
In this sacred exchange, she is believed to dissolve the knots within the subtle realms of consciousness, infusing seekers with divine illumination.
Teachings and Legacy
Mother Meera’s teachings transcend the confines of any particular tradition, embracing the universal essence of devotion (Bhakti) to the Divine. Her message resonates with the unity of all religions, emphasizing the importance of daily communion with the inner light through prayer, meditation, or contemplation.
Quoting Mother Meera, “One common mistake is to think that one reality is the reality. You must always be prepared to leave one reality for a greater one.” These profound words encapsulate her timeless wisdom, urging seekers to transcend limited perceptions and embrace the boundless realms of consciousness.
