Sri Vena Bai Swami

Sri Vena Bai Swami stands as one of the most remarkable women saints of the bhakti tradition. At a time when society placed severe limitations on widowed women, she chose a path of fearless devotion instead of silence. Through deep study, unwavering surrender to her Guru Samarth Ramdas, and her powerful kirtans, she became the first female Swami of the Samarth Sampradaya.
