Lalita Maauli lived a life of a
hermit throughout. Many spiritual seekers came to her and sought
spiritual guidance and blessings. Maauli left her mortal coil on
5th February 1997. As per Maauli’s Will, a Private Trust was formed
by seven devotees whose names were suggested by Maauli in the Will.
Soon after, one of the trustees Shri Devdas Nayak, a civil engineer,
undertook the total renovation and restructuring of the Gurukul
with the help of others, and the present structure is a result of
his selfless service, hard work and dedication. He took sanyasa
and lived in the himalayas from 2002. He expired on 14th August
2005 after a prolonged illness.
On 30th April 1998, on Shankar
Jayanti day, the Samadhi Mandir of Maauli was inaugurated at the
hands of Swami Dattananda of Bhiwani , Ganeshpuri. Along with
other rituals, Maha Vishnu Yaag was also performed.
