She carried out her duty as a missionary to the full satisfaction of her guru. She preached the new religion with utter sincerity. Even when she attained an old age, she choose not to return to Punjab. Instead she made Srinagar her new home. When she was unable to continue with the preaching, her son carried on her work.
