THEME/S
I see the Mother in various forms but I am unable to understand their meaning. Is it true that she shows herself to us in different forms and aspects?
Of course. The Mother has many forms on the supraphysical planes.

Sometimes when I see the Mother I feel as if she is the image of divine Ananda and her form looks like that of a young girl. Is there any truth in my feeling?
Ananda is not the only thing—there is Knowledge and Power and Love and many other powers of the Divine. As a special experience only it may stand.

I can see the Mother in different forms, on every level, in my ādhāra. I cannot understand what is the purpose of her taking different forms.
It is always so—the Mother manifests in many forms according to the need of what has to be done.
