Paying Homage to Gyanmati Mataji
- Aryika Chandnamati Mataji said that Paras Mani makes gold from Iron. Pojya Aryika Ratna Shri Gyanmati Mataji is also a Paras Mani. Every body who comes to her will became like gold. She makes her pupils like herself even greater than herself. It reflects her greatness and politeness.
By her inspiration many unmarried girls and other ladies have taken oath of Aryika and Kshullika eksha. Men also have taken oath of Bramhacharya Vrat and Muni Deeksha.
Shri Gyanmati Mataji is the first Bal Bramha Charini in this century, who took oath of Aryika eksha in her childhood. Many high Granthas have been taught by her to her pupils. Hence her owledge has increased in abundance.
She is an ancient and learned Aryika at the present moment. By her inspiration Jamboodweep has in constructed at Hastinapur. Gyan Jyoti was inaugrated by Late Smt. Indira Gandhi at 4th June, 32. That was result of her blessing also. It has made her immortal glory all over India.
She has written about two hundred books, out of which more than one hundred twenty five books ve also been published. Shri Gyanmati Mataji was born on the night of Sharat Poornima. It is lieved that the Moon rains Amrit on that night. Hence Gyanmati Mataji is also raining Gyan Amrit the earth. In childhood her name was Maina. As Maina a tribe of bird likes to fly in the open sky and es not like prisoned in a cage. Similarly Km. Maina is also freely wandering under the open sky in this orld.
She has left the family cage. It will not be hyperbolic if she is treated as an incarnation of Saraswati.
I have got knowledge of Ratnatrya from her, so I am very much obliged to her. I took oath of llowing Bramhacharya from her at the age of twelve years. After that, time to time I took oath of many ligious principles from her and always I am getting benefit of her great knowledge.
Shri Ganini Aryika Gyanmati Mataji gave me Aryika Deeksha at Hastinapur at place Pilgrimage 1 13th August, 1989 and gave me Aryika name as CHANDNA MATI.
I got so much love in whole of my life from her as a Person gets from his parents, brothers, sisters id preceptors. I can never pay her debt throughout my life. It is my great desire that I may become a receptor like her in my future life also. I pray that till I get liberation, her blessing may be available to le. It is my courteous homage to her.

यारह वर्ष की लगभग मेरी उम्र थी, जब मैंने प्रथम बार पूज्य ज्ञानमती माताजी के दर्शन किए। मैं माधुरी के रूप में नन्हीं कन्या घर में माताउता, भाई-बहनों के मुख से अपनी सबसे बड़ी बहिन की असीम प्रशंसाएं सुना करती थी मैंने उन्हें कभी देखा नहीं था; क्योंकि मेरे जन्म के ६ वर्ष पूर्व ही वे गृह त्याग कर चुकी थीं।

सन् १९६९ में ज्ञानमती माताजी का आचार्य श्री धर्मसागरजी के संघ के साथ जयपुर में चातुर्मास था उस समय हमारे भाई प्रकाशचन्दजी पत्नीक संघ दर्शन के लिए जयपुर आये थे । मैं भी कौतुकवश अपनी सबसे बड़ी जीजी को देखने के लिए भैया के साथ आई थी। मन में एक नई उमंग और तरंग थी कि अन्य भाई-बहनों की भाँति बड़ी बहिन से भी खूब प्यार-दुलार मिलेगा, किंतु प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव कुछ अजीब ही रहा । बहन के दर्शन के साथ ही मेरे जीवन में महिला साध्वी के भी प्रथम दर्शन का ही अवसर था, इससे पूर्व मैंने यदा-कदा मुनिराजों एवं
