Bollywood star Mamta Kulkarni takes sanyas and embraces spiritual path

A popular bollywood actress from the 90s, Mamta Kulkarni, has chosen to take Sanyas and embark on a spiritual journey, leaving behind her successful career in the film industry.

After years of being in the spotlight, Mamta has transitioned to a life of introspection and spiritual growth.

She now goes by the name ‘Mai Mamta Nand Giri’ and has been honoured with the title of Mahamandaleshwar.

Her decision was marked by performing her own Pind Daan, a symbolic ritual that signifies renouncing worldly ties.

Mamta's spiritual journey is closely connected to the Kinnar Akhara, a spiritual order within the Juna Akhara, one of the largest and most prominent Akharas in Hinduism.

In 2003, Mamta had bid farewell to acting after over a decade of successful films.

While her decision to leave Bollywood was initially unexpected, it now seems clear that her path led her towards something deeper.

Mamta’s transformation highlights her search for peace and purpose, a shift from fame to spirituality that many find inspiring.
