The Lilas of The Sons of Shiva on the auspicious day of Chitra Paurnami on April 20, 2008 Sundararaja Perumal Temple Devasthanam 80 Jalan Persiaran Raja Muda Muusa KLANG-41110, Malaysia  There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune... the tide in my case was "Sri Krishna Lila"... the flood was "Nitya Yoga" and the fortuene I got was the treasure of spirituality plus a few extra years of my life. I am now perusing "Sri Devi Lila" and amd finding it fascinating, I have no doubt that the "Lilas of the Sson of Shiva" will be equally rewarding. Mataji's works will be a great boon to the whole of humanity and all educated Hindus should make it a point to read them. Dr. Dharmaratnam

Sincere seekers who hope to improve their physical, mental and spiritual health through meditation, talks on the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and devotional chanting and puja are welcome to contact the Ashram. The course of instruction offered by Vanamali Ashram is designed to follow the ancient rules of harmonious living as expounded by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Apart from its spiritual activities, Vanamali Ashram also does service to the poor people of the village. About 150 of the village children have been adopted by the Ashram and are given clothes, food and help in education. The ashram has started a project to provide small cottages for very poor and deserving families of the village, and a project which facilitates the crafting and distribution of Himalayan wild flower greeting cards by young girls of a tiny village in the Garwal Himalayas known as Gaja. In recent years, when prompted by Lord Vanamali, Sri Mata Vanamali travels throughout the world offering courses in the blessed way of life of the Sanatana Dharma and sharing the wisdom of The Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
