Kavitha Karen Xavier
An artistically inclined individual with a passion for getting lost in books, which promptly led me into research and a doctorate degree in English Literature. My doctorate research was on the study of the Self with regard to literary trauma theory and humanistic psychology, based on autobiographies that depict inhuman resilience and perseverance in the face of abject horror and hegemonic crimes against humanity. As the picture depicts, I’m fascinated by yogic science (the importance of the body, breath, mind, soul and ultimately everything in existence: the Universe, the Source) and motivated by the need to know more and grow constantly towards what fuels the intellect. I live in India where the madness never ceases.
