1. The Mother: Individual, Universal, Transcendent

Fragment ID: 19019

Why does the Mother appear different at different times, as at Pranam or Prosperity or while giving interviews? Sometimes even anatomical differences are visible. What is the reason for these differences in her appearance? Does it depend on the extent to which she turns outwards?

It is rather, I think, dependent on the personality that manifests in front – as she has many personalities and the body is plastic enough to express something of each when it comes forward.
