Enlightenment
From a very early age, Preethaji was gifted with an ability to deeply feel and connect to the sorrows and joys of others. In her words, “I believed this is how all human beings were. It is only when I was 8, that I realized for the first time that most of humanity actually lived with a very strong sense of self that made them feel separate and disconnected from the other. It was deeply unsettling for me and I found myself wondering ever since, how to turn this around and help people experience true spiritual connection.” She had her first transcendental spiritual experience at the age of 17, one that she credits as being a very significant milestone on her path to emerging into a spiritual teacher.
