May all living beings everywhere be happy and free. May the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and that freedom for all.

Shree Devi Mayi Ma (Vivianne Nantel) has co-created several animal welfare projects abroad, including: The ABC clinic for stray and feral cats and dogs at the Art of Living Yoga International Center, TNR (Trap Neuter Release) feral cat projects in California, and helped with the original plan of the World Compassion Day (WCD) event in Mumbai, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This event was sponsored and organized by the National Media Foundation, a division of Pritish Nandy Communications, Ltd., which collaborated with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the Humane Society International (HSI), and the Foundation for Non-Violent Alternatives (FNVA), an institute for developing peace studies.
In various occasions she has donated her artwork to raise funds to build a children’s school in India and fund other projects supporting women, underprivileged children, and animals.
“Where there is divine love, there is compassion in actions.”

Shree Devi Mayi Ma embraces veganism not as a philosophy, lifestyle, or ethical belief, but as a natural, loving, compassionate, and nonviolent (Ahimsa) way of being in Divine love and true harmony with all living beings. Veganism also supports the wellbeing of our Mother Earth, and starving children in under-resourced countries who are deprived of the tons of grains that are diverted to feed livestock in the Western hemisphere.
She feels it is imperative that we teach the younger generations to love each living being as the Divine, to see and experience God within them too, to take positive, kind, and compassionate actions to help alleviate the suffering of animals, other people, elders, and children.
Over the decades Shree Devi Mayi Ma has spoken about animal welfare, love, spirituality, yoga, wellness, awakening, self-realization, raising consciousness, and many other universal subjects. She has appeared as a guest speaker on several local and international TV shows, such as on Earth Advocate and a documentary film on harp seals by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. She has also appeared several times as a special guest speaker on public TV talk show, ”Bridging Earth and Heaven”. Shree Devi Mayi Ma was also invited to speak on spirituality, animals, and the arts and also perform the opening night ceremony where she led the audience in a meditation at the National Animal Rights Conference in Washington, DC.

Devi’s Grace offers several types of scholarship for the sincere seekers who are facing some serious hardship, sufferings and major crisis in their lives. This can be applied either for personal empowerment with Shree Devi Mayi Ma, or/and scholarship of any of the programs. If you are the right candidate, please contact Devi Ma directly via the contact form, and explain your situation and challenges.
Also Devi’s Grace is a non-profit charitable in India registered in Maharashtra in 2018. We have already rescued over 60 sacred cows, and are maintain a sanctuary (gaushala) for our sacred cows. They are well treated and happy beings.
Depending on the conditions and circumstances, Devi Ma hopes to open a few animal hospitals (free of charge) and sanctuaries over the decades for the suffering animals and youth of India in locations where they are most needed.
Based on her own life experience, Shree Devi Mayi Ma believes that many spiritual masters do not include the topic of the suffering animals in their charitable activities and teaching. The goal of Shree Devi Mayi Ma is to raise consciousness on this crucial subject, and to engage the youth and younger generations in volunteering (Karma & Bhakti yoga) to help care for the suffering animals by performing the daily tasks, responsibilities at the hospital and sanctuary & rescuing homeless animals, and also help raise the consciousness in India and in the world. In return, Devi’s Grace hopes to provide comfortable shelter, food, and spiritual guidance & yogic tools, and education for the younger generations who seek to grow spiritually under her guidance.
More details will be available on this project later. Stay tuned! If your heart is moved to participate in any capacity, or you’d love to donate, please contact Shree Devi Mayi Ma via the contact page. See below photos of our goshala and our sacred cows.

As a first-phase initiative, Devi’s Grace charitable trust was established in 2018 by my beloved husband, Prashant Dilip Rathod, and my brother-in-law Prem Rathod in India on four acres of land located in Rui Talav in Yavatamal district in the state of Maharashtra. We have already rescued over 60 cows, and are projecting to add 20 acres to Devi’s Grace gaushala & sanctuary charitable trust over the years; this will help us to involve the younger generations in helping the suffering animals. Soon we will add more photos and videos to our website.
