Hey! I’m Sri Devi Om — a renunciate at heart.
And yes, since I write books — both fiction & non-fiction, you could call me an author of spirituality. But here’s the truth: I don’t write to live; I live to write.
My life was a dragon I’ve learned to tame — that’s the fairytale lover in me speaking. My spiritual quest began early, around age 9 or 10. But life had other plans first, allowing me to savor family and the richness of worldly existence before diving deeper.
At 32, I began spiritual training with a Sri Vidya expert. Though I received valuable guidance, I followed my own path — guided by dreams and intuition. There was no formal guru, no Deeksha, no traditional initiation. Instead, I relied on the power of mantras to awaken the Guru Tattva, the guru within.
As this inner guide emerged, it led me forward. Walking the path lit by this light within, I ventured into Sri Vidya and also practiced Zen. Over time, a natural sense of surrender to the Divine arose. It was then that I realized: a physical guru — often idealized and hyped — wasn’t essential.
Thanks to Nature’s abundant grace and my own sincere efforts, I had a divine vision. This opened the door to many spiritual experiences, bringing inner peace and the timeless presence of Divine Energy.
My story now…
Having reached my spiritual destination, I feel calm, content, and confident. New challenges still arise, but I flow with life — no longer chasing grand plans or lofty purposes.
To stay grounded, I share what I’ve learned through my books.
SD Revive is my registered DBA for publishing my work. Yet without much planning, it’s becoming something bigger — the SD Revive Self-Initiation Movement.
What began as a personal journey is now a (passive) social cause: a path to spiritual evolution without gurus or institutions. Learn more at SDRevive.com.
Enough of the serious stuff… did you know?
✨ My birth name is Uma…
…and I hail from the gotra — the lineage — of Sage Bharadvaja. 🧘♂️
What does that mean?
Well, let’s just say my family tree is… interesting. 👀 We’ve got legends like Drona Acharya 🏹 — the warrior-sage who trained the Pandavas — and his son, Ashvatthama.
Yep, that Ashvatthama. 🐘🔥 The one with a… you know, complicated legacy. 😅
But here’s the fun part: the scriptures say “an Ashvatthama” (yes, one of us) will become the next Veda Vyasa. 👁️🗨️ So maybe — just maybe — you’re reading the About page of the future Vyasa.
No pressure. 😇 Just kidding. 😉
Now, if you’ll excuse me… I’ve got books… and an entire library… to pen — because even in the age of AI, complexity and soulfulness remain human. 📚
Byeeee. ✨
