Revered Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma (Mataji)

Born on September 1926, in a famous priestly family, Mata Bhagwati Devi (Vandaniya Mataji), was extraordinary in her own way and unlike other children, was not interested in regular childhood activities such as playing, etc. Instead, she was more interested in worshiping God. She spent most of her time in singing devotional songs. Her favorite pastime was to make the offering of the Bilva tree leaves at the idol of Lord Shiva, and write OM NAMAH SHIVAYA.

During the early stages of her education, she studied Bhagwad Gita, and Ram Charit Manas. After her marriage to Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya (Gurudev), Mataji took over the responsibility of looking after visitors and guests. She willingly donated all her personal jewelry, which she received at her wedding, to Gurudevs Yug Nirmaan Yojanaa (Movement for the Recreation of the Era) for establishment of Gayatri Tapobhoomi at Mathura.

In 1975, under the leadership of Mataji, Mahilaa Jaagaran Abhiyaan (Movement for Emancipation of Women) was initiated. Soon, about 4000 branches of Mahilaa Jaagaran Abhiyaan were established with more than one million active participants. Its work was not limited to mere slogan-raising, but also womens education, economic self-support, sacramental rites, acquiring self-respect, abolition of dowry and fight against the discrimination of women.
