I offer my life and my writings at the feet of my Guru, Om Swami ji, by whose Grace this once lost little girl is now full of peace, bliss, and much, much merriment.
“There is hope for everyone.
No matter how difficult the circumstances,
everyone can find lasting peace
and contentment in this life.”
– Sushree Diya Om
I am not a writer. But I have a story.
A true story of unbelievable transformation.
How did this happen?
Walk with me and I’ll tell you all about it.
I was born and raised in London, England. Once a teenage wife and mother, a law graduate, and a model and actress, I overcame abuse, homelessness and addiction and moved to India in my 30’s to discover my truth.
Under the tutelage of my Guru, Om Swami, I practiced meditation and mindfulness in strict solitude in various places including the plains of Kenya, and at Sri Badrika Ashram in the Himalayas where I was ordained into the first level of monkhood in 2018.
I continue to walk the path of self-transformation and now share my experiences and learnings with others.
My series Confessions of a Merry Monk chronicles the journey of my life from Britain to Bollywood to Bliss.
