The content of this course will follow the format of the above text, beginning with an examination of the life of Anandamayi Ma. It will go on to focus on Ma as a Hindu woman, Ma as a Hindu saint, Ma as a guru, and Ma as an avataara, or incarnation of God.

MA 102

The Teachings of Anandamayi Ma — donation based

Taught by Prajna Hallstrom, PhD

Textbook: The Gospel of Shri Anandamayi Ma: Conversations with the Divine Mother, Vols. 1 and 2

TBD

This six-week course will be based on Ma’s satsangs (question and answer sessions) transcribed and translated for the above textbook, with assignments beginning with the Introduction to Volume 1 and moving through Volumes 1 and 2.

We will be exploring themes in Ma’s teaching such as Advaita (non-dualism), bhakti (devotion), leading a disciplined life, Ma’s recommended practices, Ma’s Kheyal (Divine Will) and Leela (cosmic play), and Ma’s self-identification. Our class sessions will be primarily discussion, with each of us sharing how we feel we can apply Ma’s teachings in our daily life. We will also share the challenges we have to overcome as we commit to applying them.

This course will run live on Zoom weekly for six weeks. Recordings will be available for anyone unable to attend a particular session.
