Param Shradhey Shri Radhe Maa - LeelaAmrut - Do seva, not favours



Shri Radhe Maa

 Your bhava is the best bhog for me
Shri Radhe Maa


Devotees can serve Devi Maa. They can never repay the debt of her love 
By Sanjeev Gupta
Shri Radhe Maa
Water flows from a higher level to a lower one. This, in my experience, is also true of Devi Maa’s grace. While humility or deenta is rewarded, those who come to her door intoxicated with the pride of money and fame are often deprived of her grace. It is not that 'Devi Maa' does not love such devotees. It is just they allow their stubborn ways to deprive themselves of Devi Maa’s grace. I know this because I have been similarly foolish in the past. Devi Maa practices tough love. I know that she loves me so much that she does not mind sending a little suffering my way to halt my journey to ruin. The wise one’s learn fast. Devotees who are fated to wait longer for her grace keep repeating the same mistakes.

Shri Radhe Maa
I was reminded of my old foolishness for the umpteenth time during the Maa Jagdambe Jagran on March 3. There were several devotees present at the venue whose lives have changed thanks to Devi Maa’s grace. Not one of them denies this. Some sadly also mention wherever they can how much they have done for Devi Maa. It is as if I am staring at a mirror. I have been there and done that myself and I know it is not a good place for a devotee to be. What can we possibly do for Devi Maa who is the great doer in the lives of all her devotees? We can only express our love and devotion for her. We can never repay the debt her love places on us.

When Devi Maa comes to know of such statements – and there is nothing she does not know – her eyes crinkle in amusement. She laughs like a child.

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela-amrit - When 'Devi Maa' called


Shri Radhe Maa



by Sanjeev Gupta
Shri Radhe Maa

Sardool Sikandar’s story: I was telling my son about Devi Maa’s miracles. He was understandably skeptical. He asked me if Devi Maa would call if he prayed to her in his heart. I told him that she would if the prayer was sincere.

 He closed his eyes and prayed. A few seconds later, the phone began to ring. My son stared at the phone in terror. The screen said DeviMaa. I smiled and asked him to take it. He was too stunned to respond. I took the phone. Devi Maa’s voice rang out clearly.

“Kripa karo Devi Maa,” I told her.

“Give the phone to your son,” Devi Maa said.

I handed the phone to my son. He was too shaken to speak. He greeted Devi Maa with a Satsri Akal, a namaskar and Jai Mata Di in a single like.

Shri Radhe Maa
“You wanted to hear my voice?” Devi Maa asked.

“Yes,” my son blurted out.

“How do you find it,” she laughed.

“It is beautiful Devi Maa,” he said.

“Is there anything else that you would like to ask?” she asked.

“When can I have your darshan?” he asked.

“Soon,” she said. “That was not what you had prayed for. Now that you have asked for it, you shall have it,” she said.

Param Shradhey Shri Radhe Maa - Amrut leela - A friend in need



Shri Radhe Maa 



By Sanjeev Gupta

Shri Radhe Maa
Vishal Sareen’s (Mintu) story:  I had settled happily in Australia after I got married. Life was good except for three regrets. I missed India. I missed loved ones back home and I missed Devi Maa. I requested Devi Maa to bless us with a visit to Australia. She promised me she would come. This was in 2007. I had just been in Australia for a year.

 In 2008, just a year after she made the promise, Devi Maa came to Australia and stayed for two weeks. Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa’s leelas continued in Australia. I re-established contact with an Indian friend with whom I had lost touch for the last few years. He had moved to New Zealand and was now a citizen. He moved to Australia a short while after I moved to that country myself. Despite having moved before me, he was struggling to make ends meet. He had a degree in logistics but that had not done him any good. He was forced to drive a taxi to manage his family that comprised of his wife and son. I asked him to pray sincerely to Devi Maa who always rewards those who believe in Her and wait patiently for her blessings.  

I invited my friend to Devi Maa’s chowki in the house of another devotee in Australia. I prayed to Maa and asked her to help my friend.  I asked her to make me a channel of her grace. I told my friend that he could stay with me till he found a house on rent, which is a big deal in Australia. More so, if you are an Indian with a New Zealand passport and have no income. A few days after the chowki, which my friend attended, as we stepped out of a friend’s home to drive home, a man called out to us. He was an Indian from Fiji. He told us that he called because he thought we looked Indian. He wanted to rent out a house he owned. Would we know of someone who was interested?

So, my friend had his house on the very night of the jagran. A fortnight later he landed a job that appeared to be made just for him. A few months later, his wife joined him with their son. Devi Maa honoured my request. The friend is a staunch devotee of Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa today.

Shri Radhe Maa - Doing business in Australia



By Sanjeev Gupta

Vishal Sareen’s (Mintu) story: I was always clear about two things in life. One, I wanted to create a life for myself in Australia. Two, I wanted to start and manage a business of my own. When I expressed my desires to Devi Maa, she smiled and said that both my dreams would come true in time. She also assured me that it would all happen without much effort on my part. It was a test of my faith in Devi Maa. She always emphasizes the power of saburi or patience and deep faith or shraddha.  

I knew that Devi Maa’s words would not go in vain. However, I was young and impatient and wanted things to move fast. Devi Maa merely smiled at my impatience and advised that I wait. Things would move in a favourable direction, she assured me. 

I completed my post-graduation in computer science. My elder brother was already a computer hardware and networking engineer. Together, we started a small computer training institute in Punjab. Life was moving on just fine but I kept wondering when Devi Maa’s words would come true. I was steadily deepening my knowledge of computer parts and peripherals. Choti Maa, Devi Maa closest sevadar and my elder sister, called to tell me that Devi Maa wanted me to enroll for certificate courses in LINUX, MCSE and CCNA. I told my sister that I did not see the point. I was already a post-graduate. However, this was coming from Devi Maa. So, there was no way I was going to ignore it.

In 2007, my family arranged my marriage. My bride was Indian but her family had settled in Australia. We got married and getting a citizenship was not a problem at all. 

I managed to find a job shortly after I landed in Australia thanks to the certificate courses that Devi Maa had asked me complete. After working for some time, I decided to branch out on my own. My brother joined me and together we started our business RM Electronics. My brother and I live together in the same house. People wonder how we manage to do in this age of nuclear families. I can say with conviction that it is our devotion to Devi Maa that has made it all possible. I have found a soul mate, founded a successful business and created a life for myself in Australia thanks to Shri Radhe Maa’s grace. 

Whenever there is a chowki in India, the audio visual is streamed live across the world on the Internet. On such days, our entire family watches the chowki online. We also ensure that every new purchase in our house is offered to Devi Maa before it is put to our use. Even the children in the house know how it is done. We are blessed to have such a loving mother. Jai Mata Di.

Param Shradhey Shri Radhe Maa - A promise is a promise






I will never abandon you.
- Shri Radhe Maa

By Sanjeev Gupta

Vishal Sareen’s (Mintu) story: Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa promised me in the winter of 2001 that she would visit our house on Diwali. Devi Maa tests our faith. She also expects us to be patient. I had asked her to bless our home in Mukerian, Punjab, with her charan and she had graciously agreed. Diwali being a special day for Hindus and Sikhs, Devi Maa’s devotees make it a point to seek her blessings. Devotees maintain that seeking her blessings on the day ensures prosperity, peace and health through the year.
Not surprisingly, on Diwali, the clock kept ticking and yet Devi Maa did not come. I however did not want to abandon my faith in her words. We had decorated a room so it was transformed into her gufa. Our bed was to be her aasan or throne where she was to give darshan. We waited with a sinking feeling, expecting her to would turn up any moment. At around 1 am, I told my mother that it was time to retire. However, I thought that it was appropriate that we would sleep on the floor that night. Devi Maa’s aasan would be left undisturbed. It did not feel right to disturb it.  
The night was very cold and the blankets warm. I slept soundly. Sometime into the night, I was awakened by Devi Maa’s voice, “Mintu, you are sleeping soundly and you have not spread the blanket for me.” I thought I was imagining it. The voice rang out in the darkness once again. “Get up, spread the blanket. It is very cold.”

I woke up and looked at the aasan. It was undisturbed. I spread the blanket that had been kept over it. The clarity in Devi Maa’s voice was still with me. The hair on my hands stood at end. She had indeed visited. I had been given fresh proof that Devi Maa always keeps her word. With her, a promise is a promise.
