Janani R

Chartered Accountant from The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in 2007

8 Years of Experience

I am Janani Ravikumar, the founder of Devshishu and a certified teacher of mindful living and meditation. I have been practising meditation and mindfulness for over 18 years, and experienced my own personal healing, transforming from being an unhappy, anxious and stressed person to a calm, happy and peaceful person.

I offer courses and counselling services based on mindfulness to adults, youth, children and families. I also provide consulting services to corporates, educational institutions and developmental organisations.

The programs and counselling services that I offer are based on modern research and studies on mindfulness and neuroscience, while being rooted in the ancient traditions of spirituality. They are deep and powerful, yet simple, practical and hands-on using stories, games, activities and real-life simulations to capture the attention of the learners.

Students have reported that post sessions, they feel calmer, more relaxed, appreciate and enjoy life more, develop resilience and are better-equipped to face life challenges, and overall, experience improved well-being.

I can offer a free demo session, if required, to demonstrate the effectiveness of my services.

My profile as below –

A brief about my background (this may surprise you),I am a Chartered Accountant with around fifteen years of experience with the corporate muti-nationals. I suffered intense stress and burnout during my corporate career, and so I resorted to meditation and mindfulness practices. Consequently, my stress reduced significantly, and was replaced by a deep calm, acceptance and serenity.

This inner peace and joy that I discovered within myself, led me to quit my lucrative career as a Chartered Accountant, and pursue my inner calling to become a teacher of mindfulness and use it to improve people’s lives. To spread this beautiful message and joy to others as well became my mission in life.

This, I believe is the most important gift a person can ever receive in life, one that is life-changing and transformational, into the best we can ever be.

So, I am reaching out to you, to teach mindful living and meditation to you also and transform your life for the better. Please let me know if you are interested. Happy to connect and discuss with you further on this.
