Shaleen Chandna

Shaleen Chandna, the founder of VIVANANTA Foundation, is on a mission to transform the Indian education system by bringing back the soul of learning. Her work blends three essential pillars—Awareness, Emotional Intelligence (EI), and Inner Mastery—to create a new paradigm of education for children, parents, and educators.

She believes that the purpose of education is not just to prepare students for exams, but to awaken human consciousness. Inspired by the ancient spirit of Nalanda University—where knowledge was experiential, transformative, and rooted in inner clarity—Shaleen envisions rebuilding a learning ecosystem where children grow academically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Her approach integrates neuroscience, Sanatan Dharma wisdom, and modern psychology, making learning meaningful, joyful, and deeply human. She teaches that true intelligence is not memorization; true intelligence is the ability to observe oneself, understand emotions, cultivate awareness, and act from inner alignment. Through stories, experiential activities, and structured modules, she helps children connect inner science with outer success.

At VIVANANTA Foundation, Shaleen is developing holistic programs for children that nurture self-awareness, resilience, focus, character strength, emotional well-being, meditation, and conscious living. The foundation’s flagship model, Roots & Wings, helps children stay grounded in values (roots) while expanding their creativity, potential, and confidence (wings). Every curriculum blends ancient insights from the Upanishads with practical tools from modern brain science to help children grow in clarity, compassion, discipline, and inner strength.

Beyond children, she is committed to empowering teachers, parents, and future trainers, enabling them to become catalysts for a new era of education. She dreams of a movement where every home and every classroom becomes a space of awareness, where every child understands their purpose, and where learning becomes a journey of awakening rather than pressure.

Her long-term mission is clear:
To inspire a nationwide shift from information-based education to transformation-based education, and to nurture a generation that is emotionally intelligent, spiritually aware, mentally strong, rooted in Indian wisdom, and capable of shaping a conscious future.

Through VIVANANTA Foundation, Shaleen Chandna is not merely building an educational model—she is igniting a consciousness revolution, a modern Nalanda, and a brighter future for the children of India.
