teachings of Sai Baba and Jesus Christ, to experience the oneness of all humanity, to live in a space of
gratitude and to give rather than receive.
Her journey of giving started in 1998 when she founded a non profit charity called Home of Hope Inc. to
help an orphanage in Chennai. Her journey with HOH becomes her own spiritual journey…that allows
her to experience the joy of selflessservice in helping theneedy through HOH’s role as an igniter or
facilitator, empowering them to blossom, to discover their own path with a little support. Over the years

Today her goal is to elevate the collective consciousness of the whole planet, to make the world a better
place for everyone.
This is her story and the story of Home of Hope Inc, the journey of a dynamic woman who treads lightly,
