Eight years later she became known as Swami Durgananda. She directed a Radha Centre in Victoria for four years and served as an intimate caregiver for her guru until Radha's death in 1995. Journal excerpts regarding her association with the spiritual leader have been published as In Durga's Embrace: A Disciple's Diary (Timeless Books 2006 $22.95).
