As many of us know and had chance to enjoy shopping with Shri Mataji, with all the shopping She had done, She wanted to open a shop in Switzerland (There was also one shop in Belgium and one in Como, Italy). This was during 1993-94. The purpose was to spread the vibrations through these handicrafts that She had bought and vibrated as well as to encourage the handicrafts in different parts of the World! William and me were very fortunate to be chosen for this project. In 1994, to begin with She gave us the jewelry that she had bought in Thailand (All the silver ornaments with precious or semi-precious stones and the style was marcasite) after the following year the real shop opened (even 2 for a while) in Switzerland in the region of Geneva! She guided William to choose from location of the shop to the size, rent and all the details. No only, She even fixed the prices of many items in the shop! Many things came by shipment from India, Turkey, Russia, Tunisia and probably few other countries.
So to begin with, after one Puja (1993 or 1994), She called William to hand over the jewelry She had got from Thailand (She used to say that the jewelry is famous and beautiful from Thailand as Shri Sita dropped her ornaments on the way when she was taken to Lanka by Ravan. Shri Sita dropped Her jewelry on the way so that Shri Ram could find Her and they fell in Thailand). So when William was with her opening the bags of ornaments, she asked someone to call me as well. When I went, She made me open all little packets or rings, bracelets, ear-rings, necklaces and I was showing Her each and every piece and we all who were sitting around were appreciating them. But same time something else was happening! When I was showing her each piece, it was with some specific stone (precious or semiprecious) and She was also explaining about that. Cornelia (dark red for Mooladhar as well as coral; Yellow Topaz for Swadhishthan; Emerald for Nabhi and so on…). After we had seen many pieces with most of the stones for all chakras, suddenly She started asking me questions about which stone for which Chakra to see if I was attentive to what She was saying. However, I instead of giving her answer to Her question, I was so shocked that I became speechless! However, the loving Mother that She was in the physical form, She, with the same love and care repeated the information to me while we continued to open more jewelry pieces. And as a Guru, after a while She tested me again with the questions! But this time, I had courage to answer Her questions and when She was satisfied, She said "Hmm" and then we just continued to open more jewelry and enjoy their craftsmanship and beauty!
