Who is Nithyashanti?

A person who went from being Nithya-ashanti ("perpetually non-peaceful")

to Venerable Nyanasanti (a monk who strived to "know peace")


to being Nithya Shanti (one who "abides in peace"...in a totally playful way!) 
 
An MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur.
 
Who opted out of the corporate whirl.

He lived as a forest monk for six years.


And then stepped beyond the folds of tradition,

to simply live from the heart.

 
Nithya Shanti shares 

the wisdom of "is-dom"

with people from all walks of life.
 

His simple message is
"be loving".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grant yourself a moment of peace
and you will understand how foolishly
you have scurried about.

Learn to be silent
and you will notice
that you have talked too much.

Be kind
and you will realize
your judgement of others was too severe.

- Chinese Proverb
