Risheeshwar Sri Narendranji

Risheeshwar Sri Narendranji is a rare integration of science, spirituality and lived inquiry. His life's work is dedicated to uncovering the laws governing consciousness, energy and karma, and translating them into practical methods for transformation.

Originally trained in engineering, naturopathy, magnetology and the alternative sciences, his journey shifted from external systems to the inner mechanics of existence — asking the deeper questions modern science often leaves unanswered: why patterns repeat in human life, what governs unseen influences such as karma and destiny, and how energy, body, mind and divinity intersect.

Through decades of research, lived sādhanā and travel across India, he has developed profound insights into the working of the inner realms.

  • The energy body and the chakras
  • Deities as cosmic energies, not concepts
  • Yantra–Mantra–Tantra as applied sciences, not rituals
  • Removing karmic obstructions through structured practice

Spiritual Guru · Educator

SriMaa (Sharada Shridhar)

SriMaa (Sharada Shridhar) is a revered spiritual teacher with over three decades of uninterrupted practice and teaching. Her work embodies a rare balance — depth without rigidity, discipline without fear, and spirituality without blind belief.

Guided by her Guru, Sri Narendranji, SriMaa evolved a structured spiritual methodology that helps seekers stabilise emotions, gain clarity in decision-making, heal deeply stored mental and energetic patterns, and integrate spirituality into everyday life — family, work and relationships.

Her sessions respond directly to modern challenges: stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm; loss of direction and identity; disconnected parenting and fractured relationships. Her approach is experiential and compassionate, making the ancient spiritual sciences accessible to working professionals, parents and families, students and young seekers, and audiences across India, the USA, the UK and Europe.

Spirituality is a science — meant to be experienced, validated and lived.
  • Stabilising emotions
  • Clarity in decision-making
  • Healing deeply stored patterns
  • Integrating practice into daily life
