I became a devotee of Mother when I became very close to a Hindu friend and his family in my undergraduate years. His mother became a second mother to me and taught me how to do puja and home rites to attend to a personal home shrine. When it came to a tilak, she said she wouldn't hear of me having any other than the one she wore, a Shakta tilak. I have been maintaining my personal shrine to the Mother now for almost 30 years.
