edit data

Rucha Tadwalkar is the author of The Meditation Sutras: How To Create and Maintain A Daily Meditation Practice. She is a Certified Vedic Meditation Teacher. Rucha has been initiated onto this path by her guru through Diksha Shaktipaat. She grew up studying Sanskrit and Vedic philosophy.

Rucha started meditating when she was ten years old. She grew up with a meditation practice without realizing it until she was well into her thirties.

Rucha began noticing how her on-again, off-again practice throughout her life affected her mental well-being. On the days she meditated, she would feel balanced and present. While on the days she didn't meditate, she felt easily agitated and off. This led her to commit to a daily meditation practice in 2015.
