Namaste from Chennai

Hello there, I am Vidya Shankar from Chennai, India, a widely published poet, writer, editor, motivational speaker, yoga enthusiast, exponent of mindful mandalas and an English teacher. I am the recipient of literary awards and recognition and have been on the editorial of three anthologies. (In fact, I am currently working on my fourth anthology as chief editor.)

A “book” with the Human Library, I use the power of words to create awareness about mental health, environmental issues, and other oppressing shackles of an out-dated society.

My first book of poems, The Flautist of Brindaranyam is a collaborative effort with my photographer husband, Shankar Ramakrishnan. My second book of poems The Rise of Yogamaya is an effort to create awareness about mental health.
