"We initiated her on 14th January, on Makar Sankranti, at 10:10 pm. One year ago, on February 18, she was given the name Kamala and assigned a 'Gotra'... She had reached the pinnacle of materialism. Now she wants to join Sanatan Dharma and wants to learn her tradition by joining her Guru. She is composed, simple, and is not arrogant. She stayed in the 'Shivir' for 4 days like a common devotee... About 50 personal staffers and staff came with her in two big planes... She is a pure vegetarian; she does not eat garlic or onion..." the news agency quoted Swami Kailashanand Giri.
