“I“, Devi Mohan

As the light of my soul salutes yours, I offer this humble reflection of who I am.

I am an instrument of healing through spiritual processes and Women Circles—a multifaceted spiritual guide, humanitarian, author, and inspirational speaker—driven by authentic expression rooted in lived experience.

My journey has been one of profound transformation, shaped by resilience, self-discovery, and a deep devotion to serving humanity. From navigating the trials of displacement to embracing my path as a global ambassador of love, empowerment, and conscious living, every experience has refined and strengthened my purpose.

Through Devi’s Women Circles, I create sacred spaces where women reconnect with and reclaim their divine feminine power. As a speaker, I advocate for unity, peace, and authenticity on global platforms. My healing work through the Mai-Tri Method uplifts and harmonizes lives, while my teachings in yoga, Conscious Dancing and holistic wellness support individuals in returning to inner balance and embodied awareness.

Devi with Mohanji

My Journey

Born in former Yugoslavia, Devi witnessed firsthand the terrible cost of war during and in the aftermath of Europe’s deadliest conflicts since World War II. A refugee at the tender age of 14, Devi spent the next two decades exploring the world and embracing a cosmopolitan outlook, living in Italy, the United States, several countries across the Middle East, India and Serbia. In 2018, Devi established her family home in Slovenia.

As a survivor of war, Devi learned material detachment and deep introspection at a young age. After a near-death experience ignited inner transformation, Devi expanded her horizons through an international education enabled by scholarships and sincere spiritual practice. In 2007, her spiritual pursuit deepened immeasurably when she met her revered spiritual guide, Mohanji.

In 2010 Mohanji and Devi married, forming a partnership with a higher purpose: service to humanity as one. In 2011, at two months old, their daughter Mila started her international travels and joined her parents on the path of experiential spirituality, accompanying them to various countries. Although married to an internationally renowned spiritual figure, Devi has always been supported by Mohanji to affirm and express her authenticity and inner power, honoring freedom as the essential aspect of true, unconditional love.

Women's Circle

In 2024, following a profound inner experience with High Priestesses from the Balkan region, Devi felt a clear inner calling to begin facilitating Women’s Circles. Guided purely by intuition, this work arose as a natural remembering and restoration of an ancient practice of healing, empowerment, and sacred gathering in the spirit of sisterhood.
Through Women’s Circles, Devi creates safe and sacred spaces where women come together to reconnect with their inner wisdom, feminine essence, and collective strength. These circles honor presence, authenticity, and deep listening, allowing healing and transformation to unfold organically.
As a woman married to an internationally renowned humanitarian, Devi embodies a unique role model grounded in authentic expression, conscious action, and service. Through Women’s Circles and the Festival of Womanhood, which she co-founded, she actively supports what the world needs most today: strong, loving, grounded, and educated women—women who are rooted in their truth, who serve as the backbone of the family, anchors of peace in the world, and compassionate role models for future generations.

Social Services

Social Service

Devi has served as the President of ACT International Foundation since 2012. Founded by Mohanji in 2003, and led by Devi with the unwavering support of over 500 selfless volunteers, ACT Foundation has grown into a global humanitarian community active in 24 countries.
The foundation works tirelessly to support the most vulnerable—helping the helpless, restoring dignity to the poor, and creating opportunities for those in need. Central to this work is Devi’s belief that hands-on service is both a privilege and a transformative path. She consistently emphasizes that selfless service uplifts and transforms both, the giver and the receiver.
In October 2025 Devi received a prestigious award for her humanitarian work at One World One Family World Cultural Festival in Muddenahalli, India where she shared the highlights of her transformation through selfless service in front of the audience of 5000 people (her 10-minute speech can be found here)

Yoga Teaching

As an international Yoga instructor, Devi passionately promotes the true, authentic and traditional form of Yoga taught by the ancient sages and Masters and codified by Maharishi Patanjali. Faithfully serving and living the ancient science of Yoga since 2007, the fruit of Devi’s devotion was the establishment of the Himalayan School of Traditional Yoga in 2016 by Mohanji and gold medalist in Yoga, the late Yogacharya Sanjay, whose love for yoga remains an inspiration.

As a senior certified yoga instructor (E-RYT 200), Devi conducts Yoga workshops and seminars across the globe (e.g. corporate Yoga sessions at the World Bank in Washington DC, workshops at various universities, advanced workshops for Yoga teachers, etc.), combining them with meditation, Yoga Nidra, and tangible spiritual processes such as Mai-Tri Method and Mohanji Energy Transfer.

Through her yoga and meditation sessions, Devi frequently contributes to Mohanji Retreats and elevating spiritual pilgrimages (Peru, Tibet, Sedona, India, Bosnia, etc.) organized by Mohanji Foundation around the world.

Devi in Movie

Movie Acting Experience

In 2008 Devi had the experience of playing the lead role in the movie Foreignchi Patlin .

Foreignchi Patlin made history in the Marathi cinema as the most popular movie with a foreign actress in a leading role. Devi received the prestigious Rashtra Bhushan award by the authorities of the Maharashtra state of India and continues to encounter her fans whenever she visits Maharashtra.
Based on her own experiences and insights (drawn from life as a refugee of the war in 1991, a near-death experience in 1999, and the many ups and downs of life), Devi made a conscious choice to walk a nonconformist path of genuine, experiential spirituality, always striving to lead by example. Through her life dedicated to service, Devi teaches people how to truly open their hearts, expand their awareness and blossom in all aspects of life. Serving humanity in this way is Devi’s higher purpose, her dharma.

Education

Devi’s background is in diplomacy and Yoga. She has a Bachelor’s degree in International Affairs from John Cabot University in Rome, a Master’s degree in Peace Studies from the United States (University of Notre Dame, Indiana) and the following certification in Yoga:
  1. 200h residential Hatha Yoga (called Sri Sri Yoga) training at the Art of Living ashram in India in 2007.
  2. 200h residential Hatha Yoga (called Nithya Yoga) training at the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam ashram in India in 2008.
  3. 200h Hatha Yoga training course meeting the international standards of the Yoga Alliance curriculum, conducted by Vidya Yoga School in Belgrade, Serbia.
  4. 200h Prenatal Yoga training course meeting the international standards of the Yoga Alliance curriculum, conducted by Divna Miljkovic (President of the Midwife Society of Serbia) in Belgrade, Serbia.
