Devi Pratibha Ji Was Present in Pashupati Kotihom
Devi Pratibha Ji, who recently traveled from Vrindavan, India, to Kathmandu to give a religious speech, has become the talk of the town and on social media among Nepali households.
Her mesmerizing appearance won over the hearts of Nepalis, who were escorted by six commandos dispatched by the Indian government to ensure her safety. Pratibha Ji’s enthralling storytelling abilities inspired amazement and confusion while eliciting tears from her listeners.
The Manavsewa Foundation arranged a month-long kotihom in the Pashupatinath Temple during the Hindu month of Shrawan. Pratibha ji received an invitation to share a holy tale. Pratibha stated that the Indian government supplied her with security services.
She traveled to Nepal with 22 people and 16 bodyguards. This assertion, nevertheless, seems more deceptive than accurate. There is no proof that the Indian government provided her with security. It appears that Pratibha paid 1,200 INR a day for her security personnel.
