introduce the vast landscape of the Hindu Shastras for the modern seeker. Beyond her work for adults, she has also authored several children’s books, including Avadhut and His
Teachers, My Friend Arjun, and My Sister Devi, aimed at making value-based learning
accessible and engaging for young readers..

that have reached global audiences at institutions such as VJTI, IIM Ahmedabad, the IITs,
