About Witnessing Mind
Mindfulness – A Return to What Was Never Lost
Mindfulness is often taught as a method—one more tool to manage a busy life. But Witnessing Mind is not about management. It is about meeting. Meeting the moment. Meeting yourself. Meeting life in its raw, radiant intensity.
This space was not built as a brand. It unfolded as a response to a deeper call. A recognition of our seeking—love, kindness, compassion! It doesn’t come from more doing. It arises when we pause. When we soften. When we listen.
Join Nilu to Awaken Joy
What leaves when a person dies? The body remains. The hands are there, unmoved. The eyes still open, but no longer seeing. What’s missing? That question first took root in me when I was 14. My best friend Yamuna—full of light, laughter, and wild joy—was suddenly gone. One week she was jumping and giggling beside me, and the next… silence. Her body was still there, but she wasn’t.
Where did she go? What had left her? That moment didn’t break me—it awakened me. It marked the beginning of a lifelong quest: to understand what’s real. What is this life? What is death? And what lies in the space between? These questions became my compass.
But this quest was not something I could walk alone. I searched—not for comfort, not for answers, but for someone who could show me what was real. That’s when I met my Guru. He didn’t offer teachings to believe in; he dismantled everything I thought I knew. He stripped away the layers of conditioning, the inherited belief systems, the secondhand truths I had clung to for meaning. Without replacing them with new ideologies, he pointed me inward—toward being. Not as an idea, but as a living, breathing presence beneath the endless striving of becoming. He showed me that the world of becoming—ambition, identity, success—is not wrong, but incomplete. Beneath it, there is something still, something whole, something untouched. Under his gaze, life stopped being a timeline and became a dash—a flicker between two unknowns, birth and death. What animates that dash? What leaves when the body is still but the person is gone? He gave no answers. He dissolved the very hunger for answers. And in that silence, something deeper stirred—something I now follow with reverence and gratitude.
You will find traces of my former life on LinkedIn, where I worked in international development as a monitoring and evaluation professional. I made sense of complex systems, tracked impact, told stories with data. That, was part of my dash—a meaningful chapter of becoming.
Now, I’m living in this quest. Fully present to the mystery. This journey isn’t just mine—it’s for anyone yearning to reconnect with that inner spark, to find truth, aliveness, and compassion in the here and now.
Come along. Let’s walk this path together.
A Different Kind of Invitation
While many programs guide you to calm the mind, our approach begins by honoring your wholeness—not as an idea, but as a felt experience. Here, mindfulness is not a task. It is a doorway. Into the body. Into awareness. Into the space that has always held you, even when you forgot.
We do not offer polished routines or fixed techniques. What we hold is a gentle container—rooted in the living spirit of ancient wisdom and infused with presence. Not to change you. But to help you remember who you already are.
This is not static teaching, but a living space—rooted in presence, shaped by experience
What is shared here has not been assembled—it has been lived. Through decades of inner inquiry, through teachings received and embodied, through moments of quiet transformation.
This is not a transfer of information. It is a transmission of being. And just as it moved through those who came before, it now flows through this space, offered with humility and care.
Not as an answer, but as an invitation.
