Sad Vani : a collection of the teaching of Sri Anandamayi Ma

Sad Vani was the first collection of the teaching of Sri Anandamayi Ma to appear in print in 1935 and has continued to be published over time in several languages.

Sri Anandamayi Ma (30 April 1896 - 27 August 1982) (also Anandamoyi Ma) was a Hindu spiritual teacher and Guru from Bengal, considered a saint by many and hailed as one of the prominent mystics of the 20th century. Anandamayi means "Joy Permeated Mother", a name given by her disciples in the 1920s to describe her habitual state of divine bliss. During her life, she attracted thousands of followers who saw her not only as a teacher and Guru, but as a manifestation of God, or Devi.

She was also called Dakshayani, Kamala, Vimala, and "Mother of Shahbag". Swami Sivananda (Divine show more Life Society) described her as "the most perfect flower the Indian soil has produced." Precognition, healing and other miracles were attributed to her by her followers. show less
