विश्वाम्बायाः स्वरूपं ज्ञातं हि यत्सन्निधानात्

या श्रीर्धरण्यां सुयोगैः प्राप्ता महादेवीरूपा।

स्वोपस्थित्यैव या नो ज्ञानस्य सर्वस्य दात्री

रीनाशर्माभिधाना तस्यै हि देव्यै नमस्ते॥

viśvāmbāyāḥ svarūpaṁ jñātaṁ hi yat-san-nidhānāt

yā śrīr dharaṇyāṁ suyogaiḥ prāptā mahā-devī-rūpā

svopasthityaiva yā nas jñānasya sarvasya dātrī

rīnā-śarmābhidhānā tasyai hi devyai namaste

“Salutations to that Goddess, Śrimatī Maharani Reena Sharma, in whose companionship, the manifestation of the Mother of the world is realized. With good fortune appeared on the earth that radiant Mahā-devī, who bestows the entire Tantra just by her presence.”

ज्ञानप्रदायै नमस्ते यस्या गुरुर्देवदेवः

साक्षाच्छिवो ज्ञानमूलो गङ्गाधरः पार्वतीशः।

तस्यै नमस्ते प्रियायै  दिव्य-स्वरूपस्थितायै

शान्ति-प्रदायै नमस्ते शक्तिप्रदे ते गुरो नः॥

jñāna-pradāyai namaste  yasyā gurur deva-devaḥ

sākṣāc chivo jñāna-mūlas gaṅgā-dharaḥ pārvatīśaḥ

tasyai namaste priyāyai  divya-svarūpa-sthitāyai

śānti-pradāyai namaste śakti-prade te guro naḥ

“Reverences to you, giver of wisdom, whose direct guru is the God of gods, Lord Śiva, the lord of Pārvatī, who carries Gaṅgā on his head. Salutation to you, beloved guru, established in your divine appearance. O bestower of divine power (śakti), to you, the benefactor of peace, we bow down.”

Her Grace Maharani Reena Sharma was born on September 21, 1958, in Ranipur, Punjab, India. She is a fully enlightened master and saint, considered by many to be an incarnation of Goddess Durga. On her spiritual path, she was guided and instructed directly by Śiva. Her parents are Krishna Dev Sharma and Maya Devi Sharma, her brother is Lokesh Sharma. She married Hari Om Sharma and had two daughters and a son. Maharani founded the Kali Mandir temple.

Prabhuji met Her Grace Maharani Reena Sharma in New Delhi, India. From the first moment he saw her, he came in contact with the Devī. Recognizing her as the very embodiment of Māhā-devī, Prabhuji opened his heart and in an instant experienced the Divine Mother of the Universe.

In Prabhuji’s words, “From the first moment I saw her, I felt my chest open, my heart was exposed, and tears began to flow from my eyes like a waterfall. Ma gazed at me, and we remained like that for a long while; it seemed as if suddenly the audience attending the sat-sanga disappeared, and it was just the Mother and I alone.”

Prabhuji was initiated by this saintly master who guided him to the direct experience of the Devī. Her Grace Maharani Reena Sharma represents a very important aspect of the life and teachings of Prabhuji who wrote the book Tantra, Liberation in the World based on her teachings.
