Padma Neppalli

A writer by profession, with more than thirty years of experience in high-tech industry, Padma retired as the Director of Information Development from Intel Corporation in 2021. Initiated

into the spiritual path at age ten, Padma spent over twenty years studying and practicing

mantra, tantra, yoga, and meditation techniques with various teachers around the globe.

In 2005, she discovered Shri Yellamraju Srinivasa Rao, and found his lucid talks on Advaita Vedanta

resonate within her more deeply than any other. After this profound experience, she committed herself fully to Advaita Vedanta. Srinivasa Rao was a prolific teacher who published over fifty books and gave over two-thousand hours of talks on Advaita Vedanta in his native language, Telugu. The sharp clarity of his teachings gave his students a panoramic vision of the Truth and the tools to sustain that vision.

To share Srinivasa Rao's lucid teaching with the English-speaking seekers of the world, Padma has begun

translating his works into English. In 2021, she published "Not Two: The Essence of Non-

Duality," an interpretive translation of his original book, Jagadguru Mahopadesam.

Padma lives in San Francisco, CA USA, with her family and can be reached at www.padmaneppalli.com
