Mangalamji is associated with Veerayatan since her childhood. At the young age of 6 years, she memorized Bhaktamar, Kalyan Mandir and Tatwartha Sutra and other Jain stotras.

She has been fortunate, to learn Sanskrit and Prakrit under the able guidance of a very revered and well known scholar Sant Pujya Gurudev, Upadhyaya Shri Amar Muniji Maharaj and Acharya Shri Chandanji Maharaj. Along with Jain scriptures she also studied Hindu and Buddhist texts, with very good communicating skills in English, Hindi, Marathi and Guajarati. Along with the studies she also held the administrative post at  Veerayatan Rajgir for a few years.

For last 17 years, she has been living in Unites States where she was married, and has a beautiful 12 years old daughter “Ruhani”.

Even though she was living in USA for so many years, her heart was with Veerayatan all the while. During her stay in the US she continued her religious studies and worked in various volunteer activities of Veerayatan.

She is blessed with an enchanting melodious voice which has mesmerised and touched  hearts of thousands of people around the world.

With the blessings of Acharya Shri Chandanaji Maharaj, Badi Diksha will happen on April 7th and 8th 2012 at Jain temple, Milpitas. This is probably the first ever occasion in the history of Jain community that an American citizen after living such a considerable period in that culture has decided to become a Jain Sadhvi.
