Shreya believes Sanskrit, mantra, and ancient wisdom have the power to transmute our inner worlds and transform our communities to create harmony in the world. She integrates various disciplines through her devotional practices, facilitating spaces to open our hearts through mantra, sound, and the study of Sanskrit. Shreya’s workshops help improve mental resilience and agility, bringing about stillness and peace of mind, as well as cultivating deeper compassion and awareness. She aims to guide people of all backgrounds to live with more presence, clarity, and love.
Shreya deepened her knowledge at Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth, Kerala, and Parmarth Niketan Ashram, Rishikesh, the latter of which has been her spiritual home for over 20 years. Her Sanskrit expertise includes Pāninean grammar and linguistics, Advaita Vedanta philosophy, epics, poetry, and many other literary works and thought systems. Shreya also has a breadth of experience across the social impact sector and leadership development. Her work has spanned interfaith dialogue for WASH, women’s education, mental health in the workplace, and social activism for decolonisation, giving her a unique ability to reach and connect with people of all backgrounds, professions, and ages.
