A JOURNEY OF PURPOSE AND TRANSFORMATION

Drawn towards spirituality and self-development from an early age, Gurumaa chose a path centred on selfless service and human transformation. Her journey was profoundly influenced by her spiritual guide, Badi Gurumaa, which strengthened her commitment to helping people discover greater physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance.

At just 21 years of age, she began conducting her “Glorious Life Seminars”, introducing audiences to the practical benefits of Pranayama, meditation, Yoga and Naturopathy. Over the years, these programmes evolved into thousands of seminars, workshops and motivational engagements across India and abroad.

With more than 25 years of experience in physical, mental, psychological and spiritual training, Gurumaa has emerged as a respected mind trainer, Reiki Master and life coach, inspiring people across generations to pursue healthier and more purposeful lives.

WELLNESS WITH A SOCIAL MISSION

For Gurumaa, wellness extends beyond individual health. Her work encompasses women’s empowerment, youth development, rural healthcare awareness, education, community welfare and animal care.

In 2015, she launched Balika Gyaan Yagna, an educational initiative focused on children aged seven and above. Following specialised training in Singapore, she went on to conduct 500+ self-defence and women-empowerment workshops, empowering women and young girls with greater confidence, awareness and personal safety skills.

Her commitment to community welfare also extends to animal care through Gokuldham Gaushala, established with veterinary care and surgical facilities as part of her broader vision of compassionate social development.

For more than a decade, Gurumaa has additionally conducted motivational programmes for students and young people, including engagements with Allen Career Institute and other educational platforms, helping nurture confidence, discipline, positive thinking and life skills among the next generation.
