Rise in Peace: Start a Daily Meditation Practice
A meditative adventure with Nithya Shanti
Rise in Peace is an online meditation journey.
For six months a group meditated with Nithya Shanti three times a week. It began as 30 minute meditations and went on to 60 minute sessions and longer.
This is an in-depth and well laid out guide to meditation based on Nithya Shanti's teachings. You will find over 80 guided meditations and a host of other useful resources here. The idea is to support those of you who want to have a regular meditation practice but aren't sure where to start. With this course you can start our days with the luminous blessings of meditation, intention, inquiry and inspiration.
What are the takeaways from this course?
None whatsoever.
It's not about accumulating anything, including knowledge. It's about emptying ourselves. It's about lightening the load. Letting go, entering the flow and basking in our natural glow.
You can join at any time.
One of the highest spiritual teachings is to "die before we die". Dying to the small self to awaken to the true Self.
Which is why this course is called RIP...
"Rise in Peace" 🕊

Your Instructor
I'm Nithya Shanti and I have been inspired to create this course. I am committed to sharing timeless and universally valid teachings for freedom and joy. My aim is to share things that move and inspire me deeply with the intention that they sow seeds of brilliance within each of you that is drawn to receive these messages.
A bit about my journey...
An interest in personal growth and spirituality from an early age inspired me to read many books and engage in long discussions with friends and teachers. Not content with intellectual understanding alone, I began a daily practice of meditation at the age of sixteen and attended many meditation retreats. I later completed an MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur and worked in the corporate world.
In 2002, I left my career and ordained as a Buddhist Monk. After six years of living in remote forest meditation monasteries in Thailand, Sri Lanka and also various parts of India and the US, I was guided to live, learn and serve in broader ways than the traditional role of a monk permitted. With the blessings of my teachers I stepped out of monastic life in early 2008.
My aim is facilitating an appropriate inner shift towards complete wholeness and alignment in all who are drawn to this work.
