Today, Rohini cooks daily for 150 widowed women at the RadhaSeva ashram. Along with a few other ladies, she prepares over 800 chapattis each morning, made in the traditional West Bengali style—rolled and cooked on the floor over small stoves. She also helps prepare large vegetable dishes for the widows’ feasts, chopping with a simple boti knife, the traditional cutting tool of her heritage. Her food is made with love, simplicity, and devotion, nourishing the community both physically and spiritually.
 

Outside of her cooking seva, Rohini’s heart is drawn to kirtan and prayer. She loves to sing in the temple kirtans and often joins the other widows in playing mridanga drums before the deities of Radha Madan Mohan. Her daily japa brings her solace, and she enjoys walking around Radha Kunda, visiting the sacred temples that inspire her devotion.
 

With RadhaSeva’s support, Rohini now lives independently in her own small flat near Radha Kunda. For her, it is a gift beyond measure to have both freedom and community: the dignity of her own home, alongside the love and strength of a sisterhood of widows who share her journey.
 

To know Rohini is to know quiet strength. She has endured deep heartbreak, but she has transformed her life into one of service, music, and devotion. She is a reminder that even after life’s greatest losses, the soul can rise again, finding peace in service and joy in the holy land of Radha Kunda.
