00:00My love for Him is so great that He has chosen me for Himself, so I adorn myself for Him.

00:08I had only one question with God, who am I? Why have I come? What is my purpose?

00:31I am Shweta Desai. I am in Mumbai.

00:34Today we have along with us very popular and famous spiritual leader from Mumbai, Radhe Ma.

00:42Thank you for joining us.

00:45You are from Punjab and Mumbai is a very different city from Punjab.

00:53How did you come here from there and tell us about your spiritual journey?

01:02I had a lot of love and attachment for God.

01:06I used to go to Kali Mata's temple and Gurudwara Sahib.

01:10I had only one question with God, who am I? Why have I come? What is my purpose?

01:17I used to be very sad. I used to worship God.

01:24Once my father asked me why I was so sad.

01:30I told him that I had no problems, I was attached to God and I wanted to know who I was.

01:38I was sad because I was attached to God and I wanted to attain Him.

01:43I had only one goal in life and that was to attain God.

01:47Then my father took me to a saint, Mahant Ramadhin Das, who was 130 years old.

01:57He told me that he had a fire inside him and I had to channelize it.

02:03He gave me a mantra.

02:07I sat in a small room, like an ashram.

02:14I meditated for nine days and chanted the Durga Mantra.

02:20When I came out after nine days, the saint came and everyone started shouting that I was meditating.

02:29Whatever I said and did, people started listening to me.

02:37Whatever I said and did, people started listening to me.

02:44He made me proud because my intentions were good.

02:50There is still a world of patriarchy.

02:55People ask you about your glamour.

02:59There are many controversies.

03:02There are no such things on male saints.

03:05Is it a lot of pressure to be a woman God woman?

03:10In the sense that being a woman, it is a male world.

03:15In the sense that being a woman, it is a male world.

03:20Is there a lot of doubt? How do you navigate?

03:24There is not much doubt on male saints.

03:27There is a lot of doubt on women.

03:31But I don't worry.

03:34I don't have any interest in building an ashram or a temple.

03:43This is the house of my children, where I live.

03:47In my life, I will not build an ashram or a temple.

03:54Then why should I sacrifice myself?

03:57My children love me very much.

04:01They don't want me to be simple.

04:04The burden of simplicity has been placed on women.

04:09The burden of simplicity has been placed on women.

04:16The burden of simplicity has been placed on women.

04:22For example, the controversy of the miniskirt.

04:26There is nothing wrong in it.

04:29If other people do it, it is fine.

04:32But when it comes to women, we also face it.

04:36How do you navigate it, especially in the world of mythology?

04:41Our God is male-oriented.

04:45How do you navigate it?

04:49We are learners.

04:51Sita is our mother.

04:55Our mother adorned us.

04:57Mother Parvati adorned us.

04:59Radhe Rani adorned us.

05:02Adornment is a woman's jewellery.

05:05Even ordinary women should do it.

05:07I tell all the women to adorn themselves.

05:10Make your beloved happy.

05:12Be ready for your beloved.

05:14My beloved has chosen me for himself.

05:18So I adorn myself for him.

05:21I will adorn myself.

05:23I don't have to make devotees.

05:25I don't have to gather a crowd.

05:27I am very satisfied with what I have.

05:31I am very satisfied with my God and my devotees.

05:35For example, this trident.

05:38Everything is very symbolic.

05:42What is the symbolism of this trident?

05:45Do you always have it with you?

05:47You can say that it is a symbol of Radhe Maa.

05:53Everyone has seen me in this trident from the beginning.

05:57Any woman can wear red clothes.

06:00But if it is a trident, then you will know that it is Radhe Maa.

06:03When did you start wearing this trident?

06:05How did you decide to wear this trident?

06:08What is the symbol of this trident?

06:11When I had to wear new clothes.

06:13When I came in front of the public.

06:16Then we went to the shrine of Mata Chintpurni to bow our heads.

06:21From there, a priest gave me this trident.

06:24After that, I did not leave this trident.

06:27Then I wore this trident.

06:29Do you always have this trident with you?

06:31Yes, I always have it with me.

06:33Wearing red clothes is a different thing.

06:36Why do you have this trident?

06:38It is very gold.

06:40I like it.

06:42We do not do any such thing.

06:45We do not go against the law.

06:47We do not ask anything from anyone.

06:49We do not have any wrong money.

06:54It is also said that you do miracles.

06:57In the sense, people do believe.

06:59Has there ever been a miracle?

07:03There is a lot of ambiguity in it.

07:05What do you call this Kripa?

07:08It is said that those who believe in God,

07:13or those who believe in the Guru,

07:15then somehow or the other,

07:18their powers go to that devotee.

07:21One or the other person goes to that devotee.

07:23And Kripa is given to that devotee.

07:25You have been in Mumbai for almost 15 to 20 years.

07:32Your devotees come from different areas.

07:39What is the reason for the devotion of Radhe Ma in Mumbai?

07:45Her work is done.

07:47It is a Kripa.

07:49At our place, there is a Mata Choki.

07:52On top of that, everyone worships me as Guru Ma.

07:57When we wear our clothes and give it to others,

08:02our positive energy burns.

08:05Similarly, God has given me special powers.

08:12Whoever worships me with devotion,

08:15and prays to me,

08:17that Radhe Ma, do this miracle for me,

08:19do this Kripa for me.

08:21When I do this Kripa,

08:23my followers increase.

08:25It is in all India and foreign countries as well.

08:28What is the philosophy of Radhe Ma?

08:31What is the message of Radhe Ma?

08:33When there is a Satsang,

08:35or when devotees come,

08:37what message do you give them?

08:39My first message is,

08:41first of all, serve your parents.

08:44I mean,

08:46serve your parents.

08:48Because,

08:50first of all, serving your parents is important.

08:53Secondly,

08:55truth can be troublesome,

08:58but it cannot be defeated.

09:00Thirdly, truth is not equal to penance.

09:03Falsehood is equal to sin.

09:05Truth is in the heart, so let it be in the heart.

09:08A true person,

09:10who is honest,

09:12who works in his goal,

09:14in his business,

09:16with loyalty,

09:18can never fail.

09:20It is God's grace.

09:22There is a lot of science,

09:24a lot of rational explanations,

09:26a lot of things.

09:28People have a doubt.

09:30Like we came here,

09:32we had a doubt.

09:34I know, I know.

09:36I wanted to ask you,

09:38how do you read minds?

09:40How do you read minds?

09:42I have

09:44a power,

09:46given by God,

09:48because of which I catch

09:50the devotees.

09:52Look, some people come

09:54to ask for grace,

09:56some come to see.

09:58Those who come to ask for grace,

10:00some come to test.

10:02But before testing me,

10:04does anyone test how I am?

10:06And

10:08how am I?

10:10What is inside me?

10:12How honest am I?

10:14Before testing Radhe Ma,

10:16a person should test himself.

10:18How am I?

10:20How do I work?

10:22How do I teach someone?

10:24Ma never teaches.

10:26Even Mata can never teach anyone.

10:28And those who have a doubt,

10:30don't care.

10:32I am happy with my devotees.

10:34I am not inviting anyone to come to me.

10:36I meet those who come naturally.

10:38Can anyone come here?

10:40Hindu, Muslim?

10:42Yes.

10:44Ram Rahim Te Maula Ki

10:46Samaj Ajay Te Raula Ki

10:48All are one.

10:50I don't say anything to anyone.

10:52All kinds of people come.

10:54One more question.

10:56Like we came.

10:58You gave us a red dupatta.

11:00You gave a yellow dupatta to my friend.

11:02I said, go in the colors of devotion.

11:04When you go to take a test,

11:06don't look at it as a doubt.

11:08Look at it as a color of devotion.

11:10That's why,

11:12when this color comes up,

11:14then when you

11:16take the interview of the other person

11:18with love,

11:20then you will progress a lot.

11:22So the red color

11:24that you gave me,

11:26what does it mean?

11:28The color of devotion.

11:30And his yellow color?

11:32There is a lack of love.

11:34There is no love in it.

11:36And what is lacking in me?

11:38Emotional.

11:40How can it be less?

11:42It can't be less.

11:44That's good.

11:46He doesn't get love quickly.

11:48You have put love in him.

11:50I know.

11:52And to him?

11:54To whom?

11:56You have given him for protection.

11:58Which one?

12:00The one below?

12:02Yes, the one below.

12:04He is very kind.

12:06He wants to help people.

12:10Am I right or wrong, dear?

12:14He is from your state.

12:16Punjab.

12:18Okay.

12:20He wants me to help people.

12:22And the one who is standing behind him,

12:24you had called him before.
