After my first darshan with Mirabai Devi I felt a huge amount of fear and anxiety being lifted off of me and replaced by waves of bliss and a deep sense of peace. It was as if a large chunk of dark negative emotion that I had been carrying around forever had suddenly been miraculously transformed into light. -- John
Being with Mirabai is more than an experience. It is a gift that lasts, that I carry through my practice between her visits. It has been healing my life. When I met with her, Mirabai understood my questions very deeply. The things she said to me were the connection that have helped me bring the love and peace I experience in meditation and daily living, so that they can stay with me and work through me, consistent and vibrant in the changeable landscape of my life. -- Claire
When I went up to Mirabai, she put her hand between my shoulder blades and something opened up in my heart. I started to cry. Up to that time, the space between my sternum and backbone had been unusually closed. But over the next while it expanded till there was more space between the two, more room for my heart. Since then I have been feeling my heart more deeply. -- Amber, A former a Buddhist nun for 14 years
I had the great good fortune of having darshan with Mirabai Devi this past summer. Her transmission of spiritual light and healing was profound. If you are seeking inspired guidance, if you are seeking divine blessings, if you are seeking profound healing, you will find all of them in the company of Mirabai Devi. -- Delia
I first met Mirabai in November 2004. First of all I was very impressed by her organizing team. They were extremely warm, welcoming and loving. When Mirabai entered the room I felt a deep peace combined with an overwhelming curiosity. She has this mysterious other worldly presence about her that just radiates deep love and sweetness. I have been a serious spiritual seeker for almost 30 years and have had the great good fortune to have the darshan of many enlightening spiritual teachers. Mirabai Devi overwhelmed me with her purity and grace. I feel that she is living in this constant state of enlightened awareness that I aspire to. She has become a regular part of my daily consciousness and meditations and has deepened my connections to all my other teachers. -- David
I was told by friends who know and study with Mirabai Devi that I really should meet her. Many teachers come to Los Angeles and this was another. I decided to go to a workshop that she was giving in Pasadena. The meditation instructions she gave were amazing. I went very deep inside and I knew she was no ordinary teacher - deep meditation isn't so easy for me. Then I went up for Darshan (a time to meet Mirabai Devi) and I felt a very strong longing for her to remove all the negativity that was keeping me from my steady wisdom and love. As I was waiting for my turn, I began quietly sobbing. When I was kneeling in front of her, I felt I was in the Divine Mother's arms and I wept with relief as she held me like a baby. It was a feeling I had come home. -- Nada
Two dear friends had been nudging me to go to a "Mirabai Devi event", but I was reluctant because of other experiences. Finally my curiosity overtook me and I went to an afternoon event. My friends had not told me what to expect. Mirabai walked to the front of the room and sat down. Never have I experienced love so completely in only an instant. The day when I received Darshan I saw a vision of pure, crystal clear water from pristine melting snow; tumbling down a steep, virgin, mountain side; rushing over rocks and gravel in a rushing stream of beautiful light-water. Mirabai was the water; baptizing me, washing me, giving me light. This vision has never left me. -- Nancy
Every year during the winter months I suffer from bouts of depression. In 2003 I landed in hospital. I met Mirabai in November 2004 in Ottawa. Although I just felt a small tingling of energy when she held me in her arms, I went home laughing. No depression this year! I have changed jobs and enjoy my work. I meditate every morning, and read three paragraphs from her book. -- Bernard D'Amour
**********
It is easy to feel deep, unconditional love for Mirabai Devi because that is what she exudes - she will draw you to her and then you realize that it is not her that draws you - not in the "I" sense of the word... but her light, her being, her soul. She is one of those beings that walks among us but does not seem to be of us - she is what people on the spiritual path strive to become.
I met Mirabai on the Bangalore part of her India trip. It took one conversation with her to change my life. You know how they say the spoken word only covers one third of all human feeling? I have not the words to describe what she brought to my life, and many of you who have been in her presence will understand what I mean.
I didn't know until I researched her online just how huge a figure she is in the world of spirituality - and I never would have guessed from speaking to her. Her humbleness, and the love she exudes - she is love personified.
But more than that, she makes you feel like she is your friend, a kindred soul - she is living proof that the light that is in me is indeed in all people and all things, we are all one; I believed it but it took meeting her to truly know it.
Some people wait their whole lives for somebody like her to enter their lives, even if only briefly - I feel blessed that it has taken me only 20. I know I speak for both my mother and I when I say that we are truly grateful that people like Mirabai Devi walk the earth. Thank you so much for being who you are, and I know we will meet again. I will have much to share with you when we do - until then, I look forward to it with all my being.
