A mother’s love is not confined to her family alone—it is the power that sustains and nurtures society, transforming it into a haven of peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth                                                                                       – Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma

Param Vandaniya Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma (1926–1994) was the spiritual counterpart of Acharya Sharma, embodying the nurturing, transformative power of divine feminine energy. Known for her immense compassion and practical wisdom, she played a vital role in shaping the spiritual and moral ethos of the Gayatri Pariwar movement.

Empowerment of Women

As a patron of women’s spiritual and social empowerment, Mataji led the establishment of Shaktipeeths, centers where women could receive spiritual education, participate in social service, and cultivate leadership skills.

Supportive Guidance

While Acharya provided intellectual and philosophical insights, Mata Bhagwati Devi embodied the love and emotional strength needed to build a harmonious society. Her influence was most profound in supporting families and guiding people to live in alignment with spiritual values.

Embodiment of Simplicity

Her simple lifestyle, humility, and devotion to the upliftment of others made her a role model for people of all walks of life.

Mata Bhagwati Devi’s nurturing spirit and wisdom continue to inspire millions, particularly women, to embrace their inner strength and contribute to the betterment of society. Together with Acharya Shriram Sharma, she left an indelible impact on the spiritual landscape, advocating that personal spiritual evolution is intrinsically tied to societal progress.

Under the patronage of these two towering figures, All World Gayatri Pariwar has grown into a vast global family that promotes spirituality through the practice of the Gayatri Mantra, Yagya (spiritual rituals), and Seva (selfless service). Their vision rests on key pillars of action:
