Practicing fundamental values of living from childhood
Right from childhood, she was fortunate to get association of the fifth original Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. Her parents were dedicated Vaishnav and had deep affection for Gurudev. Hence, from her early days she is practicing all good values of living a spiritual life.
She recalls the days when her parents always gave a priority to the service of a Saint and then cared for their personal comforts. Sacrifice, compassion, love, humility, and tenderness are a few of the fundamental values of living which Devi Ji is practicing right from her childhood.
Unnatural, yet a fact!!
Raseshwari Devi Ji is born on 12th January 1968 in Bhilai, Madhya Pradesh (India). She was hardly 21 days old when Jagadguruttam Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj came to Bhilai for a discourse. He met her parents very affectionately and delivered a prophecy about this little infant of 21 days- “When she grows up, she will spread Shri Krishna’s bhakti across the world.”
Shri Maharajji was immensely pleased to note the myriad of possibilities of an upcoming preacher in this little girl, gifted with sharp intellect and a brilliant memory. By His direct correspondence through letters, He nourished the tiny plant of devotion in her, which was to undergo vast expansion in the days to come.
A true seeker follows the instruction of His Guru
Devi Ji did her graduation in Mathematics from Bhilai University and thought to choose engineering as her career. She wrote about her plan to Shri Maharaj Ji and got a quick reply “No! You must do Post Graduation in English and prepare yourself as a preacher of mine.”
Following Shri Maharaj Ji’’s divine words, she completed her post-graduation. She learnt the divine knowledge of all sacred scriptures like Bhagwad Gita, Ramayan, Bhagwatam, Upnishads, Puranans, Vedas and also western philosophies and sacred text books of other popular religions and completed them in a span of six months.
On 15th October 1989, Shree Maharaj Ji graced her with the divine robes and declared her as a new preacher.
Uttishthata Jagrata- a journey of 3 decades
It is a mendate from her Guru, and a vow to take Sanatan vedic knowledge to every doorstep. She has travelled more than 9 lac kilometres to conduct 155 numbers of programs across 15 Indian states under the initiative of “उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत”. Each program is of 21 days, which gives listeners the complete knowledge of Sanatan vedic Dharma in a capsulated form, transforming their perception towards their lives comprehensively.
“Materialism and spiritualism do not oppose each other. Materialism is for upkeeping your physical self and spiritualism is for the soul. One without the other is a disaster” Devijee says.
These salutary words appear to be panacea of turmoil, the world facing now.
Empowering Youth
The nation is just an idea. If a nation is to be great, it needs great human beings. Deviji is tirelessly working on two initiatives named Baal Vikas Shivir & Yuva Utthan Shivir since 2006 with an objective of ingraining Indian value system right from the tender age.
