Life Sketch of
Gurumaa: A Divine
Journey
From time immemorial, turmoils
have shaken the earth. When
such turmoils happen, mother
earth summons such celestial
bodies like sages, hermits,
ascetics, mystics or enlightened
souls in human form to guide
humankind out of disasters.
Anandmurti Gurumaa is one
such celestial being who stands
out amongst the galaxy of
spiritual leaders.
Born on the 8th of April 1966 at
Amritsar in Punjab, India, she is
not only a convent educated arts
graduate in the worldly sense,
but Master of Life and Beyond.
She has been a mentor,
counselor and a guide to people
around her right from her
schooldays. As she says, ‘A rose is
born a rose, and need not do
anything to be a rose. ‘ As a child,
her home was always being
visited by spiritually evolved
people. When at the early age of
fifteen, she went for a pilgrimage
and was surrounded by admirers
and seekers, it was not a
surprise for the family. She
traveled through her teens and
by the age of twenty four settled
down in Rishikesh in a
hermitage.
But destiny wanted her to spread
her wings far and wide so that
she could reach out to the
maximum number of troubled
souls. Soon she was seen on
television, which made her
available to millions of viewers
worldwide. She established her
Ashram in Gannaur, Dist.
Sonepat, Haryana where
various residential retreats and
workshops are being held
throughout the year. The ashram
is a place full of positive energy,
tranquil and calm, full of natural
beauty, which enables the
seekers to evolve naturally under
Gurumaa ’s guidance. Now she is
based in Gannaur, Harayana
where she is available to her
disciples year around where
various residential workshops
are organized. Her ashram is a
beautiful place with beauty and
empty spaces to rejoice and
evolve spiritually.
Persona par excellence
Anandmurti Gurumaa showed
extraordinary signs of a mystic in
the making early in life. From the
very beginning she was being
blessed by mystics and sages
right at her home. From the
tender age of nine, Gurumaa
would put such questions before
her school teachers and others
that they would be surprised by
her sharp intellect and deep
insights into spirituality. Those
around her felt it remarkable that
a child of her age could ask such
profound questions.
From an early age, Gurumaa
showed a special affinity
towards the seers. She would
listen to their talks and ask them
various questions. They would
happily answer all her queries as
they knew she was not just
curious but had a genuine desire
for knowledge. Gurumaa also
started writing poetry at an early
age. These poetic expressions
came from the depth of her
heart. They are her innocent
offerings to the divine where the
divine is seen as the beloved and
sometimes as a friend.
Gurumaa had also begun in her
own way to deliver satsang even
while she was a schoolgirl. After
school, she would rush to deliver
her satsangs. People were drawn
to her and made every
endeavour to be a part of that
Amrit VarshaAnandmurti
literally means, an embodiment
of divine bliss and Gurumaa
means �master mother�.
Anandmurti Gurumaa, true to her
name, is a master, a mother, and
an embodiment of bliss. A very
exquisite confluence of sheer
love and sharp intelligence,
Gurumaa is a true crusader, a
mystic, a poet at heart with a
scientific aptitude by intellect,
and a strong personality. All
attributes in one person, this is
Gurumaa, a twenty first century
woman master. Gurumaa is very
pragmatic in her approach
towards life and a beautiful
person who is giving hope and
path to seekers to achieve
Buddhahood in this very life. It is
easy to be an intellectual person
but it is not easy to be simple
and adaptable at the same time.
Gurumaa exemplifies an
amalgamation of both. She talks
extempore on subjects as varied
as from Zen, Sufi, Upanishad,
Buddhism, Bard Sages,
Philosophy, Art, History, and
Yoga, to name a few. Gurumaa is
a master who speaks to the
modern mind using ancient
wisdom such as the Vedas,
Sufism, and Buddhism etc.
