Episode 13: Yogacharya Devjani Mohanty

In this episode, Marydale Ma speaks with Yogacharya Devjani Mohanty, whose life reflects the quiet truth that the sincere seeker is always being guided. Born in Puri, Odisha, and raised in a devotional family, Devjani Ma carried an inner longing through years of life across England, Japan, and Australia — until, in April 2000, she met her beloved Guruji at a satsang and recognized that her search had reached its goal. She shares the grace-filled story of her initiation into Kriya Yoga, the way her practice became an anchor through profound loss, and her journey into guiding meditation and initiating seekers herself. It is a tender conversation about devotion, surrender, and the living presence of the Guru.
