Born in the Northeast of England to a British NHS nurse and an Indian surgeon and sage, Aruna’s roots span two distinct worlds. Raised on a farm in Northumberland with a childhood split between the UK and India, her early years were spent immersed in nature and connecting deeply with animals.

Educated in England, she attended Durham School, earned a distinction from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and graduated from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

Crowned Miss India Talent, she went on to achieve international acclaim as a leading actress—starring in the French pre-historical epic AO: The Last Hunter (UGC/TF1), the Bollywood thriller Prince (featuring the smash hit "Tere Liye"), and the arthouse feature Mr. Singh Mrs. Mehta.

Named a Google Zeitgeist Fastest Rising Star, featured on the cover of The Times of India and asked to shoot for Vogue, Aruna experienced firsthand the intense trajectory of public acclaim and international visibility.

Summary

  • Global Healing: Overcoming personal wounding, fears and triggers performs the greatest healing and service for mankind and beyond. When we heal ourselves we heal the world.

  • Effortless Mediation: True meditation naturally leads to transcendence, spontaneous mindfulness and conscious expansion. Everyone can meditate when they stop focusing and fighting with what is occurring in the moment.

  • Transmutation: We possess the inherent capacity to transmute all suffering into higher states of awareness and inner sovereignty.

  • Metamorphosis: We are designed for metamorphosis, transformation and renewal and this occurs spontaneously when we look after our body/mind.

  • The Shield of Love: Devotion to something larger or other than oneself such as is a gateway into unity consciousness and provides Kavach (invisible armor).

  • Oneness: The perspective of oneness and unity is the only perspective that is accurate. We do not know where one person begins and another ends.

  • Only Consciousness: The universe is woven together from threads of consciousness and consciousness is all there is.

  • Super Radiance: When we meditate effortlessly together and transcend in groups, it creates ‘super radiance,’ actively reducing stress in the collective world, lowering crime rates, and decreasing hospital admissions.

  • The Eternal Soul: We are eternal beings; we do not die, only the physical body is dropped.

  • Equality of Consciousness: There is no hierarchy in consciousness. The human nervous system is not "superior" to other beings; animals are simply tuned to different frequencies. A serpent’s ability to sense vibrations through the earth is just as advanced as a human’s ability to use language.

  • Interspecies Connection: Non-verbal and interspecies communication can occur and will naturally happen when we expand in consciousness.

  • Anchors of Truth: Animals and plants do not possess the "masking" behavior of humans, they are closer to the Primordial Truth. They are valuable and act as anchors for the “human" souls, preventing it from drifting too far into the abstraction of the mind
