Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa gyanamrit -True Bhakti

Shri Radhe Maa

Bhakti inspired by love for God is superior to bhakti done for the fulfillment of worldly desires. It is not that one's prayers for the comforts of the world are not heard. They are. However, it is a wise devotee who at some stage evolves enough to serve God out of pure love or bhakti. Such a pure love for God or Guru asks for nothing in return. It is Devi Maa's vachan: Give and take is trade, not bhakti. 


Give and take is business. Give and take even when it is fair is a thing of the world. True bhakti is all 'give' with no expectations of 'take'.
If we think, we are not evolved enough to love God selflessly, we should pray to Devi Maa so our bhakti becomes selfless.

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela-Amrut -Leela in Australia

Shri Radhe Maa - Vachan Amrut
Legal notice that holds terrible consequences gets inexplicably cancelled 

By Sanjeev Gupta 

Tejinder Pal Singh (38) runs a successful security business in Australia. He has been a devotee of Devi Maa since he had his first darshan at a chowki in Panipat in 2003. He says that he is a changed man since he became a part of Devi Maa’s sangat. Says Tejinder, “I was always an industrious person. Before I became a devotee, I would not think twice before extending my 12-hour workday to 18 hours if there were a few more dollars to be made in the bargain. I have stopped doing that because with Devi Maa’s grace I understand today that money is not everything. Moreover, I have handed over my business as well as my blood pressure to Devi Maa. She unfailingly ensures that I always have enough.

“Last year, I was issued a ‘garnishee’ notice for recovery of debt by the Australian tax authorities. The notice caught me unawares and gave me very little time to respond. This is a rather serious issue in Australia because the bank freezes the account of the person who is served such a notice till the debt is settled. In Australia, people do not have multiple bank accounts like they do in India. One has to pay the bank to keep one’s money, so it makes sense to have a single or as few accounts as possible. I was worried because I did not know how I would manage my household and business expenses.

Shri Radhe Maa
“I prayed to Devi Maa through Choti Maa and was assured that the matter would be resolved. I called the bank they said they had not received any notice from the tax office while the tax office insisted that they had dispatched it to the bank a while back. This was rather unusual. Garnishee notices are sent through registered post and have a reputation for unerringly finding their mark. However, I kept checking with the bank as well as tax authorities for some days, and it appeared that the notice had disappeared into thin air.

A few days later, I called the tax authorities, who told me that they had concluded that the garnishee notice was not called for, and they were therefore withdrawing it. To this day, I have no clue what happened to the notice, and no one I have spoken to at the bank or the tax office has any idea. Devi Maa’s grace works in special ways and knows no limitations of time, place and geographical boundary. All we need to do is believe.”

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela-Amrut -Devi Maa averts wedding crisis


By Sanjeev Gupta

Kajal Anand’s story: We worried incessantly as our daughter’s wedding day approached. We did not know where the money for the catering, the hall and the bridal finery would come from. My business had been suffering for some time. We had exhausted all our savings and had also incurred debts. The wedding invitations had been dispatched. Needless to say, my daughter’s happiness, our reputation in society and our standing in our extended family were all at stake. It was with a heavy heart that I went to Devi Maa’s bhavan with my daughter for darshan a few days before the wedding. 


As we were ushered to Devi Maa’s gufaa, she beckoned my daughter closer and handed her a gift – Devi Maa’s beautiful chola. It was a dress fit for a bride complete in every way except for the chuda-bangles that Punjabi brides wear on both wrists on the big day.
No one had told her and yet Devi Maa knew!  


We considered Devi Maa’s gift as a positive omen. It was reassuring. However, as the big day approached, the situation deteriorated even further. People who owed us money backed out. Those we approached for a loan refused because they knew we did not possess the means to repay them. On wedding day, as guests began walking in, the caterer threatened to walk out unless we paid an advance. He would not buy supplies unless we did so. 

Shri Radhe Maa
We prayed to Devi Maa.
Her response was instantaneous. A person who had refused us money earlier called to tell us we could collect the money. Relatives voluntarily chipped in. By the end of the day, we had a fantastic wedding. All through the event, I fell Devi Maa’s wonderful positivity guiding us through.  


To this day, there are people who refuse to believe that we managed to give the wedding we did to our daughter with hardly any money in our pockets. After the wedding, our family with our now wedded daughter queued up for Devi Maa’s darshan. As we waited for our turn, my daughter asked me a question. How come Devi Maa had gifted her all her bridal finery except for chuda-bangles? 


That day, as we stepped into Devi Maa’s gufaa, she looked at my daughter and smiled. My daughter approached Devi Maa, her hands folded. As my daughter came closer, Devi Maa took off the chuda-bangles on her hands and handed them to my daughter. 

There is nothing Devi Maa does not know!

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela-Amrut - Trial through fire

By Sanjeev Gupta

Have faith in God. He will protect you from all troubles.

Kajal Anand’s Story: Businesswoman and homemaker Kajal Anand lives in Mumbai with her family. She  runs a organic beauty aid business with a dedicated clientele and has a supportive family. There was however a time when things were not as well. Her business was not doing too well and making routine payments became difficult. As she was unable to pay her car loan installments, the bank served her a confiscation notice and warned her that the car would be taken away if the payments were not made soon. The situation deteriorated to a point where the family decided to sell their home. The Anands have been devotees of Devi Maa for years now, so they faced every day with fortitude with a prayer to Devi Maa on their lips. 

Kajal felt that her faith was being tested. She did not want to fail Devi Maa. No matter how harsh the conditions became, Kajal was convinced that the times would change for the good. She remembered Devi Maa’s constant emphasis on shraddha (deep faith) and saburi (patience) in the face of life’s challenges. Kajal knew that times change. What should remain constant is one’s faith in one’s ishta. 

Shri Radhe Maa

One day, Choti Maa, Devi Maa’s closest sevadar, called Kajal, and told her that Devi Maa had taken notice of all of her problems. Devi Maa’s orders were to go ahead with the planned sale of her flat. Kajal had shared neither her problems nor her plans to sell her flat with Devi Maa or Choti Maa but had been long enough in Devi Maa’s service know that everything is possible in her darbar. 


 After that call from Choti Maa, life started becoming more pleasant for the Anands. The Anands got a great offer for their flat. They shifted to a new house and managed to clear most of the loans that had been dogging the family.


Kajal’s business picked up and the family found peace as well as happiness that had eluded them for so long. “I credit Devi Maa’s grace for all that is good and beautiful in my life. What I have learnt is that success is not far from the person who surrenders with complete faith to God.”


Kajal learnt that the prayers of those that keep their faith in the face of adversity and do not cease to serve their ishta in bad times are always answered.

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela-Amrut - Three frauds and an honest devotee

Shri Radhe Maa - Vachan Amrut 

How an honest banker was pulled from the quicksand of disaster by Devi Maa’s grace  

By Sanjeev Gupta

Madhukar Nayar’s story: Madhukar Nayar started his career as a peon in a bank. Over the years, thanks to his honesty and hard work he rose to become assistant branch manager. His colleagues, friends and relatives looked up to him as a model of honesty and good conduct. He was well-respected by one and all.
Then, tragedy struck. 


A Rs 2.7 million scam came to light at the bank. The enquiry committee that was formed to probe the fraud cast a shadow of doubt on Madhukar. The man had not imagined that the reputation he had built with care in his 33 years would be tarnished in a single stroke. After he was suspended, Madhukar sensed that people were saying all kinds of things behind his back. His friends and relatives began to distance themselves from him. He had health issues earlier, which worsened with the sad turn of events in his life. 


At this stage, Madhukar learnt about Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa’s darbar. He paid his respects at one chowki and then another. On the day that followed the seventh chowki, the scam was exposed for what it was. The culprits – a cashier, a clerk and a customer – were arrested. All three admitted to their guilt. The cloud of suspicion that had hung over Madhukar Nayar cleared. It became clear to all that he had suffered for no fault of his. The bank sent him an apology letter and asked him to resume duty not as assistant bank manager but as bank manager. He had been promoted.

Devi Maa’s leela taught Madhukar an important lesson in the power of unquestioning surrender and seva.

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela-Amrut - Miracle at first sight

How a devotee got her mobile phone days after it was lost 

By Sanjeev Gupta

Vaishali More’s story: Vaishali More had purchased a new mobile phone after several months of diligent saving. On the day she lost her phone, Vaishali who had passed Std XII, was on her way to enroll in FYBCom in her college in Bandra, Mumbai. As she was not used to carrying the phone around, it did not take much for her to forget everything about it as she stepped out of the autorickshaw. Later, she cursed herself for having been so careless. Having been brought up in a family where every paisa mattered, losing a brand new mobile phone that cost her a small fortune was not something she was going to forget easily.
Vaishali was feeling really sorry for herself.


 As she walked on the road, Vaishali saw Devi Maa’s swaroop (image) on a billboard. She prayed to Devi Maa and promised that she would present herself for darshan and even offer a chunri as a token of thanksgiving, if she managed to find her phone.  

Shri Radhe Maa


 A few days later, Vaishali came to Borivali, a suburb of Mumbai, on some business. She was walking on the road when the autorickshaw she had left her phone in stopped right in front of her. Over three hundred thousand autorickshaws ply in Mumbai and Bandra is 30 km from Borivali, so the chances of driver and passenger meeting in this manner were minuscule.  
“How did you know the mobile is mine?” Vaishali asked.
“I saw you using it, and I remember you,” the man said.




Vaishali thanked him profusely. In the evening, she found the address of Devi Maa’s bhavan, which is also in Borivali. There was a chowki on that day, so she went for Devi Maa’s darshan and also offered her the chunri she had promised. Vaishali realised that Devi Maa never fails devotees who pray to her sincerely.
