Hey! This is 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 I don’t write to live; I live to write.
My life was a dragon, which I’ve now learned to tame—that’s the fairytale fan in me speaking. My spiritual quest started early, when I was around 9 or 10. Life took a different turn, though, allowing me to enjoy my family and other richness of worldly existence.
At 32, I began spiritual training with a Sri Vidya expert. Although I received guidance from them, I pursued the Path of Self-Awakening and Self-Initiation. There was no formal guru. No Deeksha or traditional initiation. Instead, I relied on the power of mantras to awaken the Inner Guru.
As this inner guru emerged, it led me forward. Walking the path lit by this light within, I ventured deeper into Sri Vidya. Along the way, I also practiced Zen. In time, a natural sense of surrender to the Divine arose. That’s when 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 profound spiritual experiences, bringing with it inner peace and the timeless presence of Divine Energy.
Today, having reached my spiritual destination, I feel calm, content, and confident. New challenges continue to pose, but I simply flow with life. There’s no mad rush of grand plans or lofty purposes anymore. To keep myself useful, I share what I’ve learned through my magazines and books.
