She was good at yoga and meditation and served with much affection and dedication to her Spiritual Guru Sri Aravindar. Both of them were considered as divine incarnations, since their nature were entirely different from other ordinary humans. They used to discuss only spiritual matters and concentrated their attention on leading the people to the spiritual path.
