Rememberance Day of Mateshwari Jagadamba Saraswati(Mama) 24th June
MAMA THE WORLD MOTHER
This is the story of Mamma, of one we call Jagdamba, the Mother, Saraswati, the Goddess of
knowledge. The soul had such closeness to Shiv Baba that after Brahma Baba, she was the closest to Shiv Baba.
Mamma’s worldly name was Radhey and her sister was Gopi. She had a very attractive and
charming personality. Whoever saw her would say - “God made her so beautiful, gave her long hair and such a beautiful face and a beautiful voice.” Both Mamma’s father and her aunt’s husband died and so they started to go to the spiritual gathering that Brahma Baba would hold.
They advised Mamma also to come.
When Mamma came to Satsang, she saw Baba and at one glimpse, she recognized him and Baba
recognized Mamma. Baba said, “This is my long-lost and now found the child.” And Mamma said, “He is the Father who I had lost and I have found again.”
Mamma was a quick student and everything which Baba spoke would be imprinted in her heart.
She would repeat word by word so Baba would say to Mamma, “Baba has written this, now you understand and repeat it in front of the class. Baba is giving you the urn of knowledge.” So Mamma would read, churn the knowledge and then give a lecture. Everyone would feel very happy listening to Mamma. Anyone taking the course from her would transform without fail, even the most cynical and materialistic.
History of MAMMA:
A divine messenger of love and peace who descended upon the holy land of India in 1919. A jewel of a girl, Radhe, who was born to mother Rocha and father Pokhar Das at Amritsar. Right from childhood, Radhe had a razor-sharp intelligence and a personality of multifaceted splendor. Radhe studied in Kundan Mall Model School at Hyderabad (Sindh) up to Matriculation. She always topped in every class and was equally adept in singing and dancing.
Radhe’s mother and her aunt lost their husbands and were grieving at home when they started attending Geeta Satsang, where Dada Lekhraj used to elaborate the essence in the verses of Geeta. On seeing a miracle of transformation in the life of her mother and mausi (mother’s sister), Radhe began to accompany them to Geeta Satsang. Her mind danced with joy when she first heard the divine knowledge. Her interest turned from being a doll of fashion to become an angel of love and peace as she started to chant “Om” and everyone started to call her “Om Radhe.” Om Radhe realized the Divine presence in Prajapita Brahma (Dada Lekhraj). She would be intoxicated when Brahma Baba would render the “Murli” (Divine Versions).
She had a magnetic aura in her personality. Her flashing eyes exuded virtue and power. She commanded the love and respect of all with her powerful personality and merciful heart. She could dive deep into the essence of each point of knowledge and come out with the subtle implication of that. She was gifted with exemplary intellectual powers and a sweet voice which resonated with a special kind of divinity.
Om Radhe — through her dedication, sacrifice, and tireless service — came to be regarded as “Mateshwari” or the mother. She was lovingly called “Mama” by all. She gave sustenance to the spiritual children with her powerful words and actions. Her words carried the conviction of truth and her actions the strength of divinity. Even more beautiful than her words was her “silence.” Her angelic presence would transfix the whole assembly and her loveful and divine gaze would transform the hearts of the onlookers.
Throughout her life, she made many, many hearts dance with joy through her sweet and divine songs and discourses. She discerned the futility of sensual life when compared with the permanent bliss offered by spiritual life. She sang with all her heart and moved the listeners to heights of bliss.
Mateshwari was the epitome of service. She was given the responsibility of managing the “Yagya” (the Institution). She would look after every need of the spiritual children and was at their service until her last breath. She left her mortal coil on June 24, 1965, now celebrated as Mama’s sweet Remembrance Day.
