About

Nithya Shanti is a mindfulness teacher and teacher of conscious living based in Pune, known for his joyful, accessible teachings on happiness and awareness. After completing an MBA at XLRI Jamshedpur and working in the corporate world, he was ordained as a Buddhist monk in 2002 and lived as a forest meditation monk for six years before stepping out of the robes in 2008 to share his learnings widely. Since then he has led happiness joyshops, youth programmes, corporate trainings and meditation retreats around the world, and is a four-time TEDx speaker who has taught audiences ranging from CEOs and senior officials to schoolteachers. His teaching centres on attention, intention and foundation, and on practical tools for emotional healing such as EFT, Ho'oponopono and Byron Katie's "The Work," alongside meditation, self-inquiry and conscious communication. His work is carried by the Nithya Shanti Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to reawakening a heart- and earth-conscious culture based on wisdom and joy. Through retreats, online courses and his Treasury of Teachings, he offers programmes on mindfulness, healing, relationships and personal transformation.
