Her life was full of these instances. Once She traveled almost alone for a week to meet an old woman living in a small hut on a dry riverbed. She would spend an hour there talking to the woman and then return to the ashram. When Maharishi was informed that Ananda Mayi Ma had passed he said, "Now I'm really alone".

Ma would usually respond to the sincere yearning of her devotees to see her by coming to meet them – sometimes in the most surprising ways! One day, this saintly devotee and his wife boarded a city bus in Pune to visit Ma at her ashram. Looking out of the bus window, this couple was amazed to see Ma walking completely alone along the side of the road unaccompanied by any attendant, which was rare during the latter days in her life. After a few minutes, when the bus reached its next stop, they got down and hurried back up the road in the direction they had seen Ma walking. Reaching a crossroad, and not seeing Ma anywhere, the man noticed a signboard of a Christian convent a short distance ahead. Intuitively feeling that this was where Ma had gone, the couple started towards the convent and upon reaching its gates, inquired if Anandamayi Ma had been there. They were directed to one of the principal staff members who told them that Ma had certainly come but had just left. He further confided that since he had heard that Ma was visiting Pune, he had been longing for her darshan but had been unable to go to her ashram. Suddenly, to his great surprise and joy, Ma came in through the door, greeted him and spoke warmly with him for several minutes. Asked where Ma had gone now, the man pointed in the direction of a small hut where a poor family of workers lived near the convent gate. The couple entered the little hut only to find a scene of mourning over a death that had just occurred. They described Ma to the family and asked if she had been there. They were told that a lady meeting this description had come and mercifully placed her hands on the dying man’s head and blessed him just minutes before he passed away, and then she had left. The couple made their way back to the ashram expecting to see Ma on the way, as they were following just minutes behind her. Upon reaching the ashram, they inquired of Ma’s attendants as to when Ma had returned from outside. They were met with questioning glances and informed that they had been with Ma the entire day, and that she had never left the ashram. When they met Ma, she simply looked at them and smiled knowingly. Ma asked this man and his wife to learn Sri Vidya – the meditations and worship connected with the Sri Yantra, the sacred geometric symbol of the Divine Mother. The fruition of this suggestion came about in a remarkable manner. One day in the Vrindavan ashram, Ma asked the couple what the astrological conjunction was for the day and the hour. Not knowing the answer, the man went and brought Swami Satchidananda, a very learned Danda Swami, and the three of them sat before Ma. Upon knowing the exact astrological positions at that moment from Swamji, Ma exclaimed, “This is a very auspicious moment,” and then fell silent. After a few minutes, she raised her eyes upward and, to the astonishment of the three onlookers, turned completely red! Her skin, her hair, and even her immaculately white clothing turned a brilliant red (the color associated with Tripura Sundari—the Goddess of Sri Yantra) and remained so during the entire episode that followed. Next, Ma opened her mouth and a stream of Sanskrit mantras emanated rapidly with perfect articulation. While the intonation was going on, Swami Satchidananda leaned over and whispered to the man, “These are the mantras for Sri Vidya.” After several minutes of rapid chanting, Ma again fell silent and her normal color returned. She then instructed the couple to meet Swamiji the next morning and he would teach them the puja of Sri Yantra. The next morning they met Swamiji in the ashram temple. He asked them if they remembered any of the mantras that Ma had recited spontaneously, as the ritual was complex and he felt that they should only learn the part that they remembered intuitively. They replied that all the mantras were new to them, and they couldn’t remember a single one of them. When told to try and remember, they looked into each other’s eyes and, suddenly, both husband and wife began to simultaneously recite the complete mantras that Ma had spoken. Swamiji simply smiled and said, “This is Ma’s way of saying you should learn the entire puja.”
