"Mataji is truly a person with the consciousness of love and wisdom of a divine mother. Her teaching, understanding and compassion is truly religious…[Most valuable to me was her] depth of wisdom in determining the needs of each individual. Also the acceptance of each of us in a truly heartfelt manner." - Program Participant |
