Shankar Sachdev is the founder of Om Shanti Rays, a platform which he intends to use to deliver healing and relief to people who are seeking peace in a turbulent world. He is also hoping to share his knowledge of various healing mechanisms and meditation techniques which he has learned over the past two decades

It was his grandmother, Shanti (meaning peace or bliss in Sanskrit), who introduced Shankar to spirituality from the early days of childhood in India. Shankar recalls the days when his grandmother used to take him along with her to her Guru’s center to attend events and listen to satsangs. Memories of these days were adorned with great spiritual poems, bhajans, daily home rituals and prayers.

With a natural inclination towards the realm of spirituality, Shankar’s years of youth were committed to the spiritual practice and he received initiation by the age of 19. This stage of life was accompanied by the exploration of great literature written by Kabir Das and other Sufi poets.

Destiny had to take Shankar to the “Oxford of the East” better known as Pune, India. In the midst of the chaos and unfamiliar streets, Shankar came across Kriya Yoga, Reiki and eventually Vedic astrology. The dedication to the practices fully transformed him in his daily life. During his journey, he also learned Hatha Yoga from one of the well-known and finest Yoga Guru B.K.S Iyengar

Realizing that alternative healing methods are complimentary to each other, Shankar took interest in learning pendulum dowsing, crystal healing and magnet therapy. With all these techniques at hand and a continuous study, Shankar has developed a holistic and integral approach of healing towards his clients.

Shankar is married and a devotee of his Kriya yoga Guru, Paramahnasa Yogananda.
