Sri Yashoda Mai (1882–1944), born Monica Roy, was a Hindu guru and the founder of the Mirtola Ashram, also known as Uttar Brindaban, in the Himalayas. She was the wife of Gyanendra Nath Chakravarti, a Theosophist leader and the first Indian vice-chancellor of Lucknow University. While she is primarily remembered as the guru of the British scholar-saint Sri Krishna Prem (Ronald Nixon), she was also a translator of Hindu scripture, having produced a Hindi version of the Bhagavata Purana.
