Jeevan Parichay

Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa was born in the village of Dorangla in the Gurudaspur district of Punjab, India. Her father, who now leads a retired life, was an officer in the Punjab government. The family was prosperous. Shri Radhe Guru Maa, who was loved by all, was called Gudia by her father. When she was five, fate struck a cruel blow, and Shri Radhe Maa received the first shock of her life. She lost her mother. Shri Radhe Guru Maa studied till she reached Std X. She was a receptive student and a popular one too. She loved listening to Gurbani and would also spend hours in a Kali temple close to her house. Even as a child, Shri Radhe Guru Maa was considerate, sensitive, delicate and helpful. Her teachers and friends in those early years remember that she also had the gift of prophesy. The same teachers and classmates are now her devotees. At an age when children play with dolls and toy houses, Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa’s mind was keener on bhakti.
