Sumaa Tekur is a writer and editor with stints in publications like The Times of India, Deccan Herald, Femina, and DNA. She has also contributed to various British dailies and holds a Masters in International Journalism from City University, London. Her spiritual journey started early in life and this quest gained momentum with solo travelling, which gave her many opportunities for rich learning, reflection, and time to construct her own unique framework of spirituality. She offers this unique perspective in her spiritual consultancy, Golden Swan Healing (www.goldenswanhealing.com), through which she supports many a new and seasoned seeker.

Sumaa lives in Bengaluru with her books, paints and canvases, lamps, and drums. Her solitude is shared only with the mango tree next to her window, her stable, all-weather companion.
