infancy, by a deep, unaccountable other worldliness like a devouring flame which increased
with her age, until she felt compelled to dedicate herself exclusively to spiritual life and
so accepted Sri Dilip Kumar Roy as her spiritual father. Soon after she got initiation from
her Guru she started gong into Bhav Samadhi' and a new vista of spiritual world was opened
before her eyes. Under the aegis of her Guru, Sri Roy, she developed into a remarkable poet in
a short span of time; besides composing beautiful English and Urdu devotional songs she began
to hear Bhajans from the legendary saint Meera Bai in her Samadhi. Sri Aurobindo authenticated

published in two volumes titled "Indiranjali Vol 1 and Indiranjali Vol II". These established
her as one of the foremost composers of mystic poems in Hindi. She was also a classical
