Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi wrote a book in 1975. This book was available in typescript in the London ashram in the late 1970s/early 80s. It was often refered to as Mother's Book; also as The Creation, after the title of the first chapter. Typescripts of some chapters exist from this period showing the text was under ongoing revision. 

After Shri Mataji's passing in 2011 a group of Sahaja yogis assembled their own version from some of the earlier typescripts, and added diagrams drawn by Shri Mataji at various times in the early years. Their version is known as The Book of Adi Shakti (published in 2013). 

 The original diagrams intended to accompany the book (and refered to in the text in early versions) have not survived.
