In search of the divine mother - Martin Goodman

For many years visitors have flocked from all over the world to the small village in Germany where Mother Meera has her house. Each weekend her house is filled with visitors who take their turn to sit in front of her and look into her eyes. Her profound gaze and remarkable touch has transformed many of those who have journeyed to see her.

Mother Meera was introduced to the Western world by Andrew Harvey in his book 'The Hidden Journey' which has become a bestseller. Martin Goodman, the author of this book, is a former devotee whose life was profoundly affected by his time with this Indian mystic.

This is his journey of awakening. He describes his teacher with respectful admiration and tells the story of her early life in India and the path that has brought her to Germany. For some people she has become a deity, the personification of the feminine divine. From his experiences Martin has come to question the idea that she might be infallible, but reveals clearly the power and compassion of one of the greatest living mystics of our time. A teacher who uniquely manages to open up the divinity in all of us.
