- Being spiritual doesn't mean that we suddenly have an easy life. Often, we need to take risks and step out of our comfort zone to discover the secrets of life that lie beyond fear.
Remembering many of her past lives had a significant impact on her understanding that there is more than just this one life.
Trusting God requires a lot of courage and faith. Daya, who has had a long spiritual journey, moving 37 times around the globe, managing different businesses, and raising children, including Swami Revatikaanta, inspires others with her life story to take this risk and dive deep into spirituality.
When Krishna appeared to her in a vision and told her about her son, her life began to change, ultimately leading her to a significant part of her journey: meeting the guru she already knew from a previous incarnation.

Now I know the reason of why swami Revati is so special to Krishna 🥰
Your Mother is a pleasure to listen to. Thank you. Jai Gurudev
Que lindo! Estou tocada e emocionada com a entrevista! Obrigada!!
Swami Revati looks a bit like a big shy boy near his mom, instead of big bear as usually) so sweet to see that. Thank you for the amazing stories. Jai Gurudev
This was a beautiful sharing between a mother and her son. A very touching and inspiring conversation. Thank you both. Jai Gurudev ❤️
Jai Gurudev,
Thank you both so much for this incredible inspiring sharing of the life of a woman which inspires so many by her own life example, strength and so much focus and trust in Guruji🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Very special episode💫looking forward to listen to Daya again 🙏🏻💛
What a Gift, What a Grace, What a Sharing, What an "Example" of Faith Service
Thank you sooo much for this episode. I can't put into words how precious every episode is. I always get answers to my inner questions, get enormous inspiration and feel limitless love and grace of the Guru. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you! Jai Gurudev!
Thank you Swami to open this treasure chest to all of us. Your mother is really very special - Thank you to the 2 of you. Jai Gurudev
Heart touching bond between Maa & son💕. So grateful to know more about your background Swamiji. What an inspiring and brave journey of your Mom with her family. Hats off and now under the Loving protection of our Beloved Gurudev. Always be Blessed, Jai Gurudev❤️. Love & Light from The Netherlands💛💫💛
One of my favourite episodes!!! Thank you for sharing Daya🙏🏻
I wish everyone could be blessed with a mom like this❤🔥
What a sweet encounter! Thank you swamiji for sharing such an intimate conversation with you first guru. Your mother is so nice. I love hearing all devotees stories. It is very inspiring and most of all, thanks to them, i do not feel lonely. Like she was telling she did not feel lonely when amongst other spiritual peoples, your podcast make me feel somehow « at home ». Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful and inspiring sharing. Jai Gurudev❤❤❤
A beautiful amazingly beautiful present of Love. So very very Grateful.
Jay Gurudev
Was für eine wunderbare starke Frau..So ein schönes Interview..DANKE ❤❤❤
Thank you 😭 this podcast gave me answers to my question. I was lost on the thought as to why we should have kids, but like your mother said, children arent a possession. Her story made me realise that we are giving birth to souls who are yet to attain moksha, if this is the case, i'd want to teach my children and raise them on a path to god and break them free from this rebirth cycle. Jai Shree Krishna🙏
Wow living such adventurous, mystical and spontaneous life 🙏 it's all Krishna's blessings.
❤❤❤❤🙏Very Cool little Nerd and Mother. A most beautiful conversation. Thank you. Not many Mothers and children from the Western world have the privilege of having a relationship like this. Blessed indeed. Thank you 🙏
Your mum's laugh is what joy looks like. So special when she shares what Guruji means to her - a phenomenon that can never adequately be put to words. Thank you Swami 'Little Nerd' hehe he...
Here we are I watched this 3 times and I’m sobbing 😭 So touching ❤️
❤loved this. I like to hear the stories of how you all met Guruji
Thank you for having your mother on. As a woman who has lived longer than myself, it’s extremely helpful. Do not worry. Thank you both. Jai Gurudev
Thank you Swami for sharing your mom with us. I appreciate all the wisdom she shared with us through all her adversities. Jai Gurudev! 🎉❤
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. It touched me very deeply to see your love (mum and son) and how beautifully you speak of Guruji. 💞🙏🌺
Cool to be a nerd!
One small step to understand your journey thru your 1st guru!
Hari om

Loved the memories. Inspiring.
Jai Guru Dev
Jai Maa Bharati!
Such a great podcast ❤ I had opportunity to meet your mother in November, and she is really such a special person 🙏 It's beautiful to see connection and respect that you have for each other ❤ Thank you Swami, cause watching this, my heart was full of love🙏
I was drawn into her story so much and experienced guruji wz her. Thank you so much for sharing wz us🙏🌿
I adore your mom. I too survived a nasty cancer and felt the same way as her upon reflection. Her faith and trust in herself is unshakable and admirable. Such a sweet soul. My fav episode yet.
So heartwarming and inspiring, especially with my son soon to be initiated as brahmacāri.. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏💞
Thank you for this sincere and informative podcast. Devotes like you mum give so much inspiration ❤

Jai Gurudev 🙏
Jai Ma! Such a beautiful and strong woman ❤️🔥
Wanted to hear this story for a long time. Thank you 🙏🏾 I have personally been reflecting a lot very recently on the significant role my mother has played, especially now that she’s moved to Elmira. So important to respect the thread of beings which play a part in the journey back home. What a blessing for birth family to be spiritual family also. Jai Gurudev 🪷👣🪷
Amazing first woman on the podcast. Thank you Daya and Swamiji
A lesson in gratitude❤️
Such a wonderful sharing and example of parents’ true dharma. My children are not my possession ❤️ phrase to remember
Jai Gurudeb Swami , You must have really "worked hard" in other lives to have the Grace "too" to have been born of such a Mother! Truly this podcast that I'm listening to again with the french subtitles is an Enchantment, Thank You to Your Mother and Thank You and Naturally Thank You Guruji.🙏💎🙏 A Real Teaching
In the gratitude I felt after listening, I immediately went to do kriya. For the first time I felt that something spiritual was happening, that it was not just an exercise I was struggling with. Thank you for this and much more.
Jai Gurudev ❤ I really enjoyed this podcast😊 Was really beautiful listening to the journey of your mum❤
Amazing. . had chance to meet her and heard from her of her spiritual journey ,but listening to both of them together, the shared story of this special journey is pleasure to watch and listen
Jai Gurudev, so honest, helpful, true, open, normal & bspecial at the same time. Thanks. Just Love
Jai Gurudev, Daya, It is wonderful to hear your life story, both physical and spiritual. It's such a beautiful journey. During those years when my apartment was close to you and Ram's apartment at SPN, I never knew you well, especially since you are close to Mahavatar. The second time I met Gurudev, He told me: 'I will tell you one thing, my dear, your path is with Mahavatar Babaji! ' Yet He made me His first Swamini after asking me for two years, and I kept saying, "Yes, I think about it, as you are asking.' Who knows the ways of the Guru? And I am not like any of the Swamis in the spiritual work I do. So, how could it be is still a mystery to me. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life story with us all. Jai Gurudev.
She seemslike such a sweet person❤

Jai Gurudev we love Daya
