Commonly referred to as "The Godmother" or "High Priestess" of creativity, her tools are based in practice, not theory, and she considers herself "the floor sample of her own toolkit."

This week, Sah brings you a solocast talk about Anandamayi Ma. Sri Anandamayi Ma (1896-1982) was one of the great Hindu saints of the 20th Century. She was born in present-day Bangladesh. As a person of remarkable piety, sanctity, and wisdom, she came to the notice of both simple people and famous figures of India. She did not have an outer guru, and emphasized the importance of detachment from the world and religious devotion, encouraging her devotees to serve others. An ecstatic child of ecstatic parents, she became a famous saint who like many other female Indian saints stood on the edge of several religious traditions, and in the midst of none. She influenced the spirituality of thousands of people who came to see her throughout her long life. Anandamayi translates to "joy-permeated" in English.This podcast was recorded live on Quilt app.https://app.wearequilt.com/sahdsimone*Quilt is currently only available in the U.S. iOS App Store, but we are building an Android version and are going to open up to different countries soon.
