Sunandaji is the daughter disciple of internationally eminent philosopher Swami Parthasarathy. Under his guidance, Sunandaji has been imbibing Vedanta, the ancient philosophy of India for over three decades.

Sunandaji is a senior administrator and trustee of the Vedanta Cultural Foundation, a charitable trust dedicated to the study, research and propagation of Vedanta. 

Right from my childhood. I am the only child of Swamiji (Swami Parthasarathy) who was encouraged by Swami Chinmayananda to lead people into learning the life lessons from Vedanta and apply them to real life.

I grew up in the ashram, and by the age of 15, I was asking questions about the Gita and the best way of life. I went to college in Mumbai and got a degree in sociology. 

My father would say, 'We do not seek an audience, but we have an obligation to impart knowledge and help people.'
I continued the classes and lectures even as I led a married life, with a son and a daughter.
