Professional & Transformational Journey
Maya brings over 18 years of senior-level experience in the development sector, having worked with United Nations agencies and international/national NGOs (I/NGOs). In leadership roles, she specialized in training design, curriculum development, disaster management, and psychosocial well-being programs, impacting diverse communities through structured, evidence-based interventions.
Her academic background reflects strong interdisciplinary grounding: she holds two Master’s degrees in Sociology and Buddhist Studies, along with postgraduate qualifications in Disaster Management and Counseling from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), and Psychosocial Counseling from Tribhuvan University (TU). She is currently an MPhil scholar in Buddhism, researching Arūpadhamma and Dhyāna (jhāna), with a focus on consciousness, meditative states, and the transition from form (rūpa) to formless (arūpa) realms.
Her life reflects a profound 360-degree transformation—from a senior development professional to a dedicated spiritual practitioner and guide. Over the past nine years, she has immersed herself in metaphysical and contemplative disciplines, supported by intensive para-occult and spiritual training, integrating experiential realization with structured teaching and mentorship.
Her work represents a rare synthesis of academic scholarship, professional leadership, and disciplined spiritual practice, positioning her as a key pillar of the Shaktipunj spiritual community and an emerging voice in global contemplative and consciousness studies.
