Sushri Siddheshvari Devi Ji
addressed as Didi Ji (respected sister), was born in the state of Punjab in Northern India and spent her formative years in Canada, graduating from York University in Toronto with a degree in linguistics. Even in early childhood, she was drawn to temples and drew great solace from visiting places of worship. While other children were lost in play, she was looking within and contemplating on the purpose of life and the phenomenon of death. Internally guided by God, she intuitively felt that life has a much higher purpose than merely eating, sleeping and accumulating wealth. The promise of a financially rewarding career did not hold any appeal for her.
After graduating from university, Didi Ji's spiritual quest led her to Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. Shri Maharaj Ji is only the fifth personality in the past 5,000 years to be recognized as an original Jagadguru, i.e. Guru of the world. Didi Ji made a pilgrimage to India where she spent two years in Guru Ashram and was taught the intricate mysteries of the Vedas and other scriptures by Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj Himself. She started preaching service in 1987.
“The responsibiltry for our actions rests with us .Yet, we cannot do anything without God gracing us with mind and intellect. So, God enables us to perform actions, but we decide what we are going to do ”
