shri mataji - Her family life
Shri mataji nirmala devi. In April 1947, after the proclamation of the Independence of India, Shri Mataji married Mr. Chandika Prasad Shrivastava. An eminent member of the Indian administration at the time of their wedding, he later became Secretary to the Indian Prime Minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri. The Shastri family was immediately captivated by Shri Mataji's personality, and the Prime Minister himself did not hesitate to ask for Her advice and support. After Her marriage, Shri Mataji consecrated herself totally to Her family, and, during these years, She deepened Her perception of human nature

Towards the end of the 1960s, the weddings of Her two daughters marked the end of this period of Her life that had above all been dedicated to Her family. The family is an essential element of the teaching which accompanies the spiritual experience generously given by Shri Mataji whose own life is an eloquent example.
