 Sukhwinder felt an emptiness after her husband left. It was not easy for her to cope.
 However, Sukhwinder was not daunted. She had time on her hands and a skill—sewing. She took to tailoring and even taught the skill to other girls in the neighbourhood.

		+	Mumbai : Eight years after she was booked in a domestic violence case, a sessions court discharged Radhe Maa observing that no domestic relationship existed between her and the alleged victim, reports Rebecca Samervel. The complainant, a now 38-year-old woman, had filed the complaint against Radhe Maa, her husband and five other family members in 2014. She had alleged her in-laws had abused her and demanded dowry at Radhe Maa’s behest.

Setting aside the order, the sessions court recently said, “The…metropolitan magistrate…came to a wrong conclusion that the appellant original respondent number 7 (Radhe Maa) is covered under the definition of the respondent as defined in the DV (Domestic Violence) Act. . . I, therefore, hold that the appellant is not covered under the definition of the domestic relationship and the respondent. ”

 When quizzed by mediapersons, Radhe Maa reportedly  broke down and said, “I don't want to say anything, God will do justice to me.”
 A devotee wrote on his Facebook page: “[This sudden spurt of allegations] appear to be connected with a dispute between Shri Nakul Gupta and the extended Gupta joint family. Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa has no connection with the matter. Guru Maa has blessed us by sharing the Gupta family home for the last 12 years.

		+
		+	'''Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai believes that Maa is being "misunderstood" for her "happy childish moods": "Her old devotees call her Gudia (baby doll) Devi Ma".'''
		+
		+	If all the world's a stage, Mumbai's Walkeshwar Road is where all the action is right now. At one end of the tony, tree-lined street-one of India's most expensive-resides Lord Shiva in his 888-year-old temple. At the other end, there is the so-called 'Durga incarnate', Mamtamai Shri Radhe Guru Maa in her palatial mansion, the White House. But in a cynical, suspicious world, the lines are getting blurred between the mythic and myth-making: is she, or is she not, an avatar, playing hide-and-seek with mere mortals?
		+
		+	But #RadheMaa is trending on social media. Television cameras are tracking her relentlessly. Reporters are stalking her with a new purpose. A Pandora's box of toxic allegations are out: housewife Nikki Gupta alleges dowry harassment and torture; Sussex-educated lawyer Falguni Brahmbhatt has lodged a PIL for obscenity; advocate Ashok Rajput has filed a complaint for spreading superstition and black magic; Himachal priest Mahant Shyam Sundar Das is pointing a finger for financial irregularities, land grabbing and murder of her own guru, Ramadhin; the family of Maa's late sister-in-law has accused her of abetment to suicide and of life threats to them.
		+	There is also the old allegation of big-money corruption from the past: how she had become the first woman in the last 1,200 years to be the mahamandaleshwar (chief guardian) of the powerful Hindu akhara, Juna, in 2012. Thrown out within days, the allegations against her by the akhara committee remain: she bribed her way to the top, had not taken 'sanyas' or renounced past life through pinda daan, has no knowledge of scriptures, and has not given up family life. What's more, her guru was a Vaishnavite while the Juna akhara worships Shiva.
		+
		+	It all began with Rahul Mahajan, son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan. On August 5, he went on Twitter with a "Guess who ????" and three pictures of Radhe Maa lolling around in a pink miniskirt, boots, beret and plastic bridal bangles upto her elbows. Ever since, the nation has been obsessing over her.
		+	Did she also get her first taste of power in the male-dominated world of spirituality? She did start dressing up in finery and calling herself a goddess from around this time. With some Hindu organisations objecting to her 'audacity', Sukhwinder moved to Delhi and finally to Mumbai. That was around 2003. How she met members of the Gupta family, owners of the 68-year-old confectionery, M.M. Mithaiwala, and impressed them enough to get refuge in their Borivali home are again questions that remain unanswered. But for the last 12 years, the Maa-Mithaiwala union has worked, with both experiencing "tremendous growth by the grace of God".
		+	Meantime, Maa is quietly getting angry. Earlier, she would use her mini-trishul to surreptitiously comb her billowing hair during public events. But now she is threatening to destroy this hapless world with the swing of her trident: "Mera trishul hilega to duniya hil jayegi" (If my trishul moves, the world will be shaken). She is particularly angry with journalists, or "totalog" (parrot people). Beware of the fury of the devi.
