Kriya Mataji, officially known as Mala Rajagopal, is a distinguished spiritual guide and scholar. With postgraduate degrees in Hindi Literature, Yoga Science, and Astrology—along with expertise in several other disciplines—she brings a rare combination of academic depth and spiritual insight.

Having served as a lecturer for over 15 years in various colleges, she eventually renounced her professional career to dedicate herself fully to the service of Mahavatar Babaji Sannidhan.

As an accomplished astrologer, she has guided over a thousand individuals through her practice, MindScope Astrology, offering Vedic remedies and consultations grounded in deep spiritual understanding.

For more than 15 years, she has journeyed alongside Sri Brahma Murari, leading numerous spiritual groups to sacred Himalayan destinations. One such pilgrimage became a turning point in her life. On the auspicious morning of March 28, 2021—while resting at Apical Resort near Bhimtal Lake after visiting Mahavatar Babaji’s cave—she experienced a divine visitation. Mahavatar Babaji appeared before her and initiated her with the spiritual name “Kriya Mataji.” It was a moment of profound awakening, a transformation from her previous identity into a life of deeper sadhana and selfless service.

Since that sacred initiation, Kriya Mataji has been tirelessly working toward the realization of a long-cherished spiritual vision: the establishment of ShivaShakthi Peetam and a dedicated Mahavatar Babaji Ashram. The vision is now manifesting into reality under her guidance and with the collaboration of Sri Brahma Murari.

As the central force behind the Mahavatar Babaji Sannidhan in Bengaluru, Kriya Mataji oversees all aspects of its functioning—spiritual trainings, religious functions, group pilgrimages, and daily sadhana support for devotees. Her presence is pivotal in every initiative, infusing each activity with clarity, compassion, and spiritual depth.

Today, Kriya Mataji walks the path of Kriya Yoga with unwavering dedication. She leads by example, guiding all members of the Babaji Sannidhan family toward a life of spiritual truth, inner transformation, and divine service.
