Enlightened Since Birth
Ma Anandmayee was born in Kheura village in the Tripura district of India, on thirtieth April, 1896. Unlike other children, Ma Anandmayee didn't cry at the time of birth. She was fully enlightened and aware since her birth. She would get into a trance if there was a kirtan in her house or in the neighborhood. She learnt to read and write very easily, and though she had neither much formal education, nor did she do much Swadhyay, she would amaze knowledgeable scholars, and those of repute, by the ease with which she solved problems related  to the shastras.
