Shri Anandi Ma encourages her students to share experiences with each other. She has asked that at least once a year we contribute something to Shakti Online. It need not be big, or flashy. It may be long, or as short as a sentence, whatever the inspiration to share requires.

Be aware that all experiences sent to Shakti Online are read by the staff, and edits are commonly proposed. We always respect the validity of the entire experience, but for publication editing is helpful. We will contact you for final approval.

If you have sent us an experience in the past and would like to resubmit it, we would welcome that. We are committed to giving each experience our attention.

You can write or copy and paste your experience in the field below. If you would like to send a recording or something by mail, let us know below and we’ll get back to you and tell you how to do that. Or, we might be able to arrange a phone interview if you prefer, just let us know.

On Easter Sunday my husband and I took a drive out to my favorite beach at Half Moon Bay. As I put out my blanket and sat down, I had a profoundly peaceful feeling as I looked out at the infinite ocean. My soul felt at home. Tears of peace and joy ran down my face like salt water. I then proceeded to stand up and walk towards a large rock that looked like a huge throne to sit on. I nestled onto the rock and looked over to the left at a beautiful rock island with large waves splashing against it with a continuous waterfall flowing in front of it. Everything I began to see was as if I was seeing it for the first time and in slow motion. The waves, two little boys laughing at the water’s edge, a golden retriever, a seagull gliding on the breeze, the rocks…  Everything in my mind’s eye appeared to be God. Then, I looked above me and I saw a rainbow encircling the sun. As I looked back out at the ocean, a small voice within said, “God so loves the world.”

I had experienced only a glimpse of the love that God has for all creation. It filled my heart with contentment and peace. It was as if I was seeing the world through God’s eyes and heart for a moment.
