Randal mataji was born as sangna devi. She was the great and merciful daughter of the vishvakarma. From an early age, people remarked on her beauty, her love for all beings, and her eagerness to help those in need.Sangna devi married the sun god(surya dev). They were happy together and bore a son and a daughter, Yamraja and Yamnaji.
Sangna devi could not bear the suffereing of the people. It was her nature to help those in need, yet she did not want to leave her husband.Her solution was to create an exact duplicate(chhaya) of her self. The chhaya remained with surya dev, while sangna devi came down to earth to meditate and pray to her husbad to give the world relief from his extreme brightness.
