In an age driven by ambition, certainty and constant motion, Sadhvi Vrinda Om walks a journey that stands apart quiet, inward, and transformative.
The former author embraced monastic life under spiritual luminary Om Swami. Sadhvi Vrinda Om today resides in serene Himalayan village in Himachal Pradesh dedicating her life to faith, compassion and the empowerment of women.

“Renunciation is simply a declaration to love, serve and revere God till the end of time,” she says. “Where is the loss in that?” For her, devotion brought a deep inner peace, one that reshaped her priorities and outlook naturally rather than through force.
Central to her work is the Women Liberation Group (WLG), an online community she founded with a focus on inner freedom.
Unlike conventional models of empowerment that emphasise only social or economic progress, WLG addresses what she calls women’s most invisible burden the absence of spiritual anchoring.
Drawing from personal experience, including her mother’s struggles and eventual spiritual solace, she notes that women often spend their lives caring for others while quietly battling their own fears, illnesses and loneliness.

“Women are strong, but too often left to fend for themselves,” she explains. WLG encourages daily prayer, meditation and sadhana, helping women connect with a universal divine force beyond religious boundaries.
Over the past two years, the group has grown into a nurturing digital space offering mental wellness sessions with health experts, creative expression through free art classes, spiritual practices like chanting and meditation and real-world community meetups.
Despite living a traditional monastic life, Sadhvi Vrinda Om actively engages with digital platforms, a balance inspired by her Guru. Om Swami, also a pioneering tech innovator, has developed global spiritual platforms such as the Sadhana and Tantra Sādhanā apps.
“Anything that brings peace and quiet contentment is spiritual,” she says, adding that technology becomes a problem only when it disturbs inner stillness.
Her recently relaunched book, Bhagavan and Bhakta, explores surrender, devotion and divine grace concepts often viewed with discomfort in today’s control-driven culture. She firmly rejects the idea that faith encourages passivity.
“True faith naturally leads to hard work,” she says, pointing to Om Swami’s disciplined work ethic as an example. For her, spirituality and excellence in worldly pursuits are not opposites but allies.
At the heart of her philosophy lies compassion. “Compassion is without reason,” she says. Practised daily through small acts, conscious pauses and selfless intention, it becomes a discipline rather than an ideal.
In a restless world, Sadhvi Vrinda Om’s life offers quiet reminders of inner peace, when nurtured, has the power to transform not just individuals, but communities.
