Introduction
Gurumata
Maharishikā Araṇyāni, known as Gurumata formally and Moe Maa, informally, rests in the lap of the Universal Mother Śakti and Universal father, Shiva, forever as their child.
With them and in their līlāmāyā, Moe Maa, as she likes to be called, laughs in joy at the indivisibility of everything and cries in joy at the divisibility of nothing. A rapturous madness from her union with ŚivaŚakti runs through her body, which has retained the mortal coil of Devi Sodashi. “It is a truth too vast to carry in a single lifetime,” she says. “And this single lifetime stretches across many births and universes.”
Moe Maa’s heart is forever grateful to the ShivaShakti aikya roopa of Pārvatī and Parameśvara. She smiles and says, “they have held my hand at every step on the path to divine recognition”. She bows to them for immersing her in existential crisis as a child of a deaf father and a pious mother, which propelled her to enquire about the reality of who she was and why she was born on Earth. She thanks her universal parents for drenching her with the futility of material pleasures during her teenage years as they gave her the experience of ordinary love, relationships and partying until her mid twenties. In her late twenties and by Shiva’s Śaktipāta, Moe Maa was blessed with Mother’s darshan as Kuṇḍalinī Śakti and the universal orgasm of her union with Shiva. Soon after, Mother revealed her creative genius in her natural, primordial form as Pṛthivī Mātā, mother earth.
In Gurumata’s early thirties, ShivaShakti reminded her that the whole of earth, Bhūmi is the embodied form of Goddess Śrī. Soon after this remembrance, Gurumata met Sri’s beloved Gaja, an elephant named Dharma. He became Moe Maa’s eternal child, her playful companion, and the catalyst who opened her vision to Sanātana Dharma as the timeless ocean of spirituality. In her late thirties and at last, Moe Maa was finally grounded in the eternal ṛta as Śakti to Śiva, female to a male, woman to a man, wife to a husband and spiritual partner to a spiritual guru, Gurunatha Mokshānanda, who introduced her to the bliss, perfection and completion of Paramādvaita Tantra and plugged her into the mystical parampara of Rishikula flowing through their primordial Guru Adishaktinatha.
To all these eternal teachings, divine parents, and guiding teachers, Moe Maa remains joyously bound in the unbounded freedom of sevā, consciously dissolving the arising of all identities into the singular identity of Ṛṣikā Araṇyānī in this sacred birth of hers.
