I hope to connect and interact here in this platform, with anyone who is interested in spirituality, life and its complexities, human beings and our relationships, with each other, with the world at large, and the environment around us.
I am primarily an Advaita Vedanta teacher, but I also act as a counsellor, therapist and life coach.
My quest for the meaning of states of samadhi experienced since early childhood led me to explore and meet some fascinating and fine people on similar spiritual quests. Many were beginning, some were well entrenched in the path, and a few were very well established. My world was made up of healers, energy workers, channelling practitioners, spiritual teachers, tantriks, aghoris, etc.
I attribute my love for wisdom and understanding, to the divinely ordained meetings with numerous wise Gurus, like Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Swami Tejomyananda (who intiated me into bramacharya and gave me the name Vasudhaa Chaitanya), Krishnanada Teertha Mahaswamigal, the Shankaracharya of Shakatapuram (who initiated me into Sanyaasa, after which I am addressed as Swamini / Sadhvi Shree Vasudha), the late Subhadra Mataji, Kulavdhuta Satpuranandji, Mata Leeladevi, and many other beautiful people, all accomplished in their own ways.
And to the many non physical connections with spiritual guides and Masters like Bhagwan Nithyananda of Ganeshpuri, Shri Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadutta Maharaj, Swami Chinmayananda, and the Sai of Shirdi. I consider myself rooted in the wisdom of the Upanishads and am deeply inspired by Sant Kabira and Guru Nanakji.
Silently and securely settled in the knowledge that security is the biggest myth and that settlling comfortably, if at all, can happen only within.
I reside in Navi Mumbai, in an apartment rented out for various activities of our Foundation. VVF or the Viva Vedanta Foundation was set up with a group of my students and the primary focus was to spread the message of ancient scriptures through discourses, meditation sessions, workshops, etc.
VVF also gives a platform for interested individuals to awaken and realise their true potential by means of the different sevas (services) created for the benefit of the society.
