Mataji --Modern Wonder Woman
During the 21st Century there exists a (dis)ease that is multiplying in Epic proportions. Anxiety/Stress is the silent plague affecting every mortal on this planet Earth. The age of technology and electronic gadgets has erased the ability to focus and affected our ability to see clearly. We exist in a haze. Multi-tasking has morphed us humans into frenetic, flitty cyborg folk that drive in one gear and one gear only: Autopilot.
Do not fear, Mataji is here. She is Mother incarnate. Always giving of her resources, a bountiful fountain whose waters never deplete. She offers of herself unconditionally in service to all. She can jump high but she cannot fly. She transports herself to the land of mortals where she uses the power of her gaze to transmit instantaneous peace of mind to those in distress. Mataji is saving the human race by Awakening a consciousness that has been lost.
Her spirit was sent to Earth after an emergency meeting was held among the Gods in the Heavens. The earthly inhabitants were in dire straits. The technology age had boomed and exceeded any one’s expectations. Humanity was at risk now as people’s minds began to merge with their computer counterparts. A cerebral epidemic had cut through the mortals, one in which human mind and robot became so interconnected that everyone was “plugged in”. Soul was threatened because it had been slowly hardened by years of mental plaque. Everyone was highly charged and profoundly depleted.
Mataji was born via invitro fertilization from a frozen egg via surrogate. Whom did the egg belong to? None other than Bhumi, Earth Mother herself. She had a sixth sense as to the direction humanity was headed in and new that her earthly biological clock was ticking. Why not use the perks of advanced medicine? She obtained the sperm from Surya, the Sun God, one of her best friends. He threw a celestial celebration on the day the surrogate, Radha was impregnated with their child: Sun Showers!!! Nine months later, the rainbow arched from the heavens to the earth as Mataji was born. She was radiant and glowing. As she opened her eyes for the first time, her third eye also opened. It appeared as a bindi on her forehead, between the brows. This child would grow up to work wonders. Like the Buddha and many before her who had attained enlightenment, this child’s life path was to restore peace of mind across humanity.
Upon seeing her beautiful child, Bhumi did not have the heart to leave her to be raised by others, but she knew it had to be done. She left the child to a couple, Raja and Rani, who had been trying to conceive for years but were unable to get pregnant. After years of tests and trying, they finally decided to adopt. Both were high ups in Corporate America. Raja was CEO of Robots as Housekeepers, Inc. while Rani could have sat on his throne, she too was just as ambitious and had worked her way up the corporate ladder as head honcho of Cell Mobiles International. Her company was the creator of the latest trend: convertible sized cars in which people traveled virtually (through mental cyberspace) everywhere.
It is an understatement to say that these two workaholics were never home. When they learned that there was a baby available to them for adoption though, they were elated. Even before meeting the child, they decided to name Mataji “Macarena”, a name that reflected their favorite Apple Computer and that dance that was popular back in the early 90s.
The day for meeting the baby and bringing her home had arrived. Both Raja and Rani had managed to take only a half-day at their respective jobs. As they entered the hospital room, a light seemed to emanate from the bassinet. “Meet your baby” said the nurse (Bhumi in disguise handed her over as Radha watched on). Raja, in the midst of text messaging and Rani, on her headset finishing up some business for the day, dropped their mechanical devices and felt a warm tingling sensation that began in their toes and spread to the tops of their heads. A burning between the eyebrows ensued and then…. the adventures begin…
