Yamuna Devi: A Life of Unalloyed Devotion: Part 2: Offering

Yamuna Devi: A Life of Unalloyed Devotion: Part 2: Offering the Gift of Bhakti to Others

This illustrated memoir and biography unfolds the inspiring internal and external spiritual odyssey of Yamuna devi's devotional life recalled in her memories, talks, journals and writings, as well as the remembrances of the author and other associates and friends. It is richly supplemented with 100s of rare photos, Yamuna's calligraphic works, illustrations and art. In Part Two, Yamuna faces challenges and austerities while serving in Vrindavan. In 1974, she leaves the Krishna-Balarama Temple project and moves to Oregon with Dinatarini, to begin a women's ashram. Her beloved Deities are installed there. In the ensuing years, Yamuna and Dinatarini move extensively, each move bringing its own challenges and inspirations. In 1984, Yamuna's epic cookbook, Lord Krishna's Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking, is released to unprecedented praise. In 1998, Yamuna and Dinatarini, seeking a simpler life, move Saranagati Village to live off-the-grid in a self-built Vastu designed home. Here, Yamuna lovingly shares kirtan, classes, deity seva, and devotional inspiration. Health issues later force Yamuna to move to Florida, where she continues to inspire others in bhakti until her passing.
