Publisher Notes
Tracing the history and significance of the mysterious Indian woman who is visited by hundreds of people - easterners and westerners alike - each week in her modest German countryside home, writer Martin Goodman reveals how and why Mother Meera, born an uneducated peasant in rural India, is considered by many to be the ultimate incarnation of the feminine divine in our time. In 1995, Mother Meera authorized Goodman to write her official biography, granting him rare access to her life and her history. The book he wrote was completely destroyed at Mother Meera's request. Now he has written a deeper, more subjective, and broader ranging work that layers biography with the mesmerizing story of a true spiritual adventure. Filled with all the beauty and drama of a mythic novel, it yields a remarkable portrait of a genuine contemporary mystic on a crucial mission to bring divine light into the world.
