🟧 About Gautam Sachdeva

Gautam Sachdeva is a spiritual guide and author dedicated to fostering unshakeable inner peace in seekers, helping them cope with the turbulence of modern life.

He was propelled into the world of spirituality after his mother, Santosh Sachdeva, underwent a series of out-of-the-world experiences due to Kundalini awakening. To help spread her knowledge, he started a spirituality-centric publishing house, which he currently heads.

Over time, Gautam met masters, yogis, clairvoyants and Sufi mystics, and gained knowledge spanning various spiritual traditions.

Gautam awakened to discover the true nature of our being at the feet of the realized Advaita master Ramesh Balsekar, a direct disciple of Nisargadatta Maharaj. Thereafter, he made it his life’s purpose to help people find peace in daily living through his transformative retreats and satsangs (open to all without any restrictions) in India.
