Pratika 'Sahayak' Kshemya

Pratika 'Sahayak' is a monk living in northeast Thailand. His practice began in his mid thirties as a disciple of Guru Sri Chinmoy his spiritual master. From his pre-teens Pratika felt a deep inner contentment with an insatiable drive to explore and experience life. Now in his mid-seventies after over 40 years of practice his peaceful life is one of surrender, service, and the intimate experiencing of Being. His practical teachings blend non-dual wisdom with heart-centred awareness, offering support in understanding the mind, easing stress and emotional reactivity, and restoring harmony within the body and nervous system. They invite a deeper recognition of our natural state of effortless Awareness, prior to the stories, beliefs, and conditioning through which we experience ourselves and life. Since joining Insight Timer in July 2025, Pratika has shared over 250 audio tracks, courses, and meditation videos, alongside nine free weekly live meditation events, reaching an ever-expanding global community. Each teaching is an invitation through meditation to recognize directly the stillness, clarity, and peace inseparably present beneath the movement of thought, experience and activity. From this recognition, we may discover an all-embracing wholeness and joy in which the sense of separation, the separate self can naturally dissolve as we let go, allowing us to open more fully to the immediacy and wonder of our infinite potential, and to the aliveness of life itself.
