Hindu Perspective

Vanamali Mataji

I met Vanamali Mataji in her ashram located in Rishikesh - right on the Ganga river - in the spring of 2023.

"Feminine power is very important. Without Shakti, the all creation would not even have started. All the nature we see is her form, it is her display of forms, for the enjoyment of that Supreme. This is also depicted in the incredible icon of Kali dancing on Shiva's dead body. Shiva without Shakti is only 'shava' i.e. a corpse!"

- Mataji

Vanamali Mataji offers a place in Rishikesh where everybody can come for a meditation and a group chanting or prayer every evening at sunset. She points to the importance of experiencing the Divine and transmits the solace of devotion.
