Revered Mataji, Mata Bhagawati Devi Sharma   

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 worshipping 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 writing "OM NAMAH SHIVAYA".

During the early stages of her education, she studied Bhagwat Gita, and Ram Charit Manas. After her marriage to Pt. 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 Gurudeva's Yug Nirman Yojna (mission for creation of a new Era), for establishment of Gayatri Tapobhoomi at Mathura. This is the place where a grand 1008 kundiya Gayatri Mahayagna took place in 1958.
