Om Shanti Founder Travels to India for Important Meeting

Michelle “Shanti” Williams, founder of Om Shanti Belize, was warmly received by Dr. Chinmay Pandya, the Pro Vice Chancellor at Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya University (DSVV) in India.

DSVV is deeply rooted in the vision of its founder, Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Ji, a renowned philosopher, scholar, and spiritual leader. The university’s educational approach is inspired by the philosophy of “Sanskriti” (culture) and “Dharma” (righteousness), which emphasises the integration of spiritual wisdom with modern academic knowledge. Under the leadership of Dr. Chinmay Pandya and other influential figures, DSVV has expanded its international influence through various initiatives and partnerships.

Pandya’s academic background includes medical education in India and advanced psychiatric training in the UK, where he worked as an Associate Specialist in Older People Services at the West London Mental Health Trust. With extensive experience in psychiatry and a deep commitment to yoga and meditation, Dr. Pandya has played a major role in various global initiatives, including his work with the Indian Yoga Association and the United Nations.

The meeting centred around shared values and a mutual commitment to inspiring positive change through holistic wellness and conscious action.

As highlighted by DSVV in a Facebook post, “Michelle’s dedication to healing and transformation resonated deeply, adding a new dimension to the university’s global outreach.”
