The Connect Reinstated & Rejuvenated
(“Guided Session on Meditation” – KOLKATA)
Hari Aum!
We feel so lucky that we were able to hear Maa Purnanandaji these last couple of days. 1st day we did a session on ‘Guided Meditation,’ where a lot of misconceptions regarding Meditation were cleared and the right way of practising were taught by Maa. The importance of introspection, concentration and contemplation in our daily lives were explained at length.
We all had a lot of queries which Maa answered patiently and beautifully.
The next day, we were fortunate that Maa could visit our home and bless it. We had Satsang which was very interesting and enlightening, at the same time! It left all of us more inquisitive to know about the importance of spiritual reading, prayers and our different Scriptures.
We hope we continue our pursuits and progress on the spiritual journey one step at a time, with the blessings of the Almighty, Gurudev and Maa Purnananda ji.
Hari Aum!

It is always overwhelming when Maa is in Kolkata as I look forward to the sessions with Her; this time on “Guided Meditation“
The session began with someone asking Maa, what made Her take to this path? Maa shared some of Her experiences and Her time spent at different ashrams with Pujya Gurudev and the way she was initiated. It was unbelievable; Maa was the chosen one!
She asked each one of us, what Meditation meant to us and we all gave our understandings on the same. Maa so beautifully explained what we need to do to step wise.
Firstly, introspection every night before we go to sleep.
Next morning our mind is a clean slate so our concentration is stronger, therefore the ritual is easy to perform.
The third is contemplation.
I promised myself that I will be practising this from now onwards.
Hari Aum!

Hari om!
It was great joy to me to meet Maa. Her calm presence brings a feeling of peace to my
anxious mind. Maa blessed us. She guided us with the steps to Meditation. She cleared all
our doubts and encouraged us to read more. The Puranas, Vedas, Upanishads and the two
Epics are very important to read. We all must try to read them. Many answers are given in
these books.
I take this opportunity to thank Maa for Her blessings.
Thanking you

I had a fascinating experience with Her Holiness Maa Purnanandaji in Kolkata. She received
Deeksha from Swami Chinmayananda ji, marking a significant moment in Her spiritual
journey. This sacred initiation played a pivotal role in shaping Her path as a Sanyasin, and
Her teachings reflect the profound impact of Swami Chinmayananda ji’s guidance on Her
spiritual life.
My takeaway from Her Holiness Maa Purnananda ji’s teachings on guided sessions -
introspection at night, prayer, and daily contemplation resonates with the essence of
maintaining a meditative state throughout the day. Engaging with sacred texts like Vedaant,
Upanishads, and Epics adds depth to one’s spiritual journey. My gratitude and regards to
Her Holiness. I humbly reflect the appreciation for the precious time She shared, fostering
spiritual growth and understanding.
