Encountering Bliss

Melita Maschmann, a journalist by profession, meets Anandamayi Ma by sheer coincidence and travels with her throughout India for several months. This book was first published in 1967 under the title "Der Tiger singt Kirtana" (A Tiger sings a Kirtana). It was revised, enlarged and published in 1990 under the title "Eine ganz gewohnliche Heilige" (A very ordinary saint). This book is not only an account of Ma. It is a fascinating account of Melita Maschmann's encounter with the Divine India, her trials and tribulations, her joys and sorrows in the company of Ma.
