Anandamayi Maa, who was widely considered an avatar of Maa Adya Shakti, agreed to request by sevadars to be allowed to hold a bhandara the following day.It was Easter. The year was 1942. The next days the sevdars discovered that there were over 500 people to be fed when they only had enough provisions for four hundred. They approached Shri Maa and told her that the since the market was far off, maybe they could postpone the bhandara by a few hours.
Maa said it was already noon and people would be hungry. The sevadars should ensure that all devotees were fed. ''Make arrangements for serving them now. The meal should be over within an hour and a half. Not one should go away without food. Leave this body alone. Report only if there be any shortage. Otherwise, do not come to me." I was present there. We all felt uncomfortable. But Mataji said with perfect composure, "Go and do as you are told. Do not forget, none should go hungry. Don't be unhappy. God's service must be done with a cheerful heart," was Maa's aadesh.
The food at the Bhandara turned out so tasty that devotees reported eating more than they were used to. They ate their fill. After an hour and half passed, the devotees went to Maa, who smiled and asked them how it had been?
Mataji asked, "What about your provisions?" One of them burst out, "More than five hundred people have eaten and yet there is enough left for two hundred more." Mataji said gravely, "This is very good. Not a particle should be wasted. Let those who come or are staying here be fed again in the evening. Everything must be consumed today. If it cannot be eaten here, let it be given to those outside who are hungry."
May the divine leelas of Mata Anandamayi ignite the spark of love for the lotus feet of Maa Tara who is the boat across the sea of Maya. Jai Maa!
