The Image of Reality
“Kash and his family meditated on different photographs of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, as meditation was done either in the living room or the children’s bedroom. There were considerable age differences between the different photos. One particular day the father became curious again and began pondering which particular image of the Great Adi Shakti manifested in Kash's Sahasrara. Logically only one image of the physical Shri Mataji should manifest Herself in his Thousand-Petal Lotus. But which one would it be and why that particular one? Or did She keep appearing sometimes youthful, at other times middle-aged, or even old?
Kash replied that normally the Great Holy Spirit assumes the exact photographic image that is being normally meditated on. However, if the photograph is changed and replaced, or meditation done in a different room, then She sometimes assumes that form. Nevertheless, one fact is constant at all times: The Great Adi Shakti Shri Nirmala Devi always appears considerably younger in the Sahasrara than Her physical being on Earth. Put simply, She always appears youthful and this feature remains constant. She is eternally ever young.
- According to him, Al-Muzzammil (Wrapped in Garments) Shri Nirmala Devi always wears a different sari every day. She does not wear any other type of attire, a fact subsequently corroborated by his younger brother, Arwinder. Sometimes Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi wears the exact sari as that in the photograph he meditates on.
- Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s hair is normally always parted in the middle and flowing down to at least the waist. Sometimes they are held back loosely in a bun. Shri Mataji has a bindi on Her forehead at all times.
- She never wears earrings but has a koka in Her nose. He is not sure about any necklace as the folds of Her sari are always draped across and over the shoulders.
- Shri Nija-samlapa-madhuryavinirbhartsita-kachapi Shri Nirmala Devi has five thin golden bangles on each wrist and golden rings on Her left Vishuddhi and Agnya fingers. The right-hand fingers do not have any rings.
- The Great Adi Shakti always has a swastika on both Lotus Feet and there are golden rings on all toes, except the big toes.
- She is always barefooted and has never been seen wearing any type of footwear.
On September 18, 1998, Lalita was asked if Shri Mataji wore shoes, and the reply was She did. Her father told her to be sure, and the reply was affirmative. He knew that she had made a mistake and probably had not observed Her Feet properly.
The next day at 9.10 a.m., Lalita, just after meditation, told her father that Shri Mataji did not have any shoes. This time she confirmed that the Great Adi Shakti was barefooted in her Sahasrara. Her brother Arwinder, who had also finished meditating, casually added, “Shri Mataji has no shoes.” Their father, solely for the sake of positive proof, asked her why she was sure this time, and the reply was, “When I meditate with Her I can see She has no shoes.” Her father asked, “You looked at Her Feet?” Lalita replied that she did.”

Analysis of The Image of Reality, page 661
Kash and his family engaged in deep meditation on various photographs of the Great Devi, who had incarnated on Earth as Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Their meditation sessions took place either in the living room or in the children’s bedroom. The photographs used for meditation differed in age and appearance, reflecting different periods of Shri Mataji’s life.
One particular day, Kash’s father, driven by curiosity, began contemplating an intriguing question: Which specific image of Shri Mataji manifested in Kash’s Sahasrara? Given the logical assumption that only one form should appear, he wondered whether the photograph influenced her manifestation or if she appeared in varying forms—sometimes youthful, sometimes middle-aged, or even elderly.
Kash explained that the Great Divine Mother generally appeared in the same form as the image being meditated upon—matching details such as the color of Her sari and the garland of flowers adorning Her. However, if the photograph was changed or if meditation was performed in a different room, Her form could sometimes shift accordingly.
One constant feature remained: The Great Adi Shakti always appeared youthful, between 30 to 35 years old, regardless of Her actual physical age on Earth. This was not only a consistent observation but was later verified multiple times by his siblings, Arwinder and Lalita.
Other Observations
- She wore a different sari each day and never any other attire. Arwinder later confirmed this.
- Her hair was usually parted in the middle, flowing down to Her waist, sometimes loosely tied in a bun.
- She always adorned a bindi on Her forehead.
- She never wore earrings but had a koka (small nose ornament).
- Five thin golden bangles adorned each wrist.
- She had golden rings on Her left Vishuddhi and Agnya fingers but none on Her right hand.
- A sacred swastika was present on both Lotus Feet.
- She wore golden rings on all toes except for the big toes.
- She was always barefoot and never seen wearing footwear—confirmed by Arwinder and Lalita.
Why This Proves Kash Was Telling the Truth
- Consistent Descriptions Across Siblings: Kash’s observations were later corroborated by Arwinder and Lalita.
- Uniform Divine Appearance: Shri Mataji always appeared between 30-35 years old in Kash’s Sahasrara.
- Specific Details About Attire and Ornaments: Kash and his siblings described intricate details that were unlikely to be imagined.
- Spontaneous Revelation of Truth: Lalita independently corrected her mistake after meditation.
- Alignment with Traditional Descriptions: Many spiritual texts describe divine beings as eternally youthful and adorned in specific ways.
- The Nirvikalpa Samadhi Factor: The realization came through deep meditation, confirming an authentic spiritual experience.
Lalita's Testimony: The Truth of Her Vision
On the following morning at 9:10 a.m., after emerging from deep meditation, Lalita approached her father with a remarkable revelation. Without any prior prompting, she stated with conviction that Shri Mataji did not have any shoes. Unlike the previous day, this time she was certain—she affirmed that the Great Adi Shakti was barefooted in her Sahasrara.
Her certainty was striking, as she had not been asked to observe this detail. The revelation came to her spontaneously, reinforcing the authenticity of her experience. At that very moment, her younger brother Arwinder, who had also just finished meditating, casually confirmed her statement, adding, “Shri Mataji has no shoes.” His independent corroboration, without prior discussion, further strengthened the credibility of her testimony.
Their father, a man of reason, sought positive proof and asked, “Why are you so sure this time?” Lalita replied without hesitation: “When I meditate with Her, I can see She has no shoes.”
This statement carried immense weight. Unlike a speculative observation, Lalita’s certainty stemmed from direct spiritual perception. She had just emerged from Nirvikalpa Samadhi—an advanced meditative state where the mind becomes completely still, perceiving only the truth. It was in this state of pure awareness that she had witnessed this fact firsthand.
Her father further inquired, “You looked at Her Feet?” to which Lalita calmly affirmed, “Yes, I did.”
Key Reasons Affirming the Truthfulness of Lalita’s Testimony:
- Spontaneity of the Revelation – Lalita was never prompted to observe Shri Mataji’s footwear. The insight came to her unbidden, indicating a higher, divine source of knowledge.
- Independent Verification by Arwinder – Without discussion, her brother confirmed the same truth, lending additional credibility.
- Experience in Nirvikalpa Samadhi – Since Nirvikalpa Samadhi is a state of absolute truth, her realization was not an assumption but a direct perception.
- Unwavering Confidence – When questioned, Lalita was completely sure, showing that her experience was deeply rooted and not a fleeting impression.
- Direct Vision of the Feet – She consciously looked at Shri Mataji’s Feet and confirmed her vision, ruling out ambiguity.
All these elements together form a compelling case that Kash and his siblings experienced genuine divine encounters, supported by consistency, profound accuracy, and spiritual verification.
