Prashanti was born in Argentine Patagonia and spent her childhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She returned to Argentina and attended Film School in Buenos Aires, receiving further education and specializing in Screenwriting in New York. Serendipity came when she got her first job in the movie industry in 1997 as a production assistant on the feature film 'Seven Years in Tibet.' She encountered Buddhism for the first time and felt an immediate and deep connection with its philosophy. The movie was shot in the Andes mountains serving as the Himalayas, in a remote and isolated area where she lived with the crew and cast for months. Sharing her daily life with Tibetan monks, Rinpoches, and high Scholars, Prashati absorbed their wisdom as much as possible. The seed was planted, but only in 1999, after her mother's sudden passing, she began her formal studies of the Buddhist scriptures, learning mantras and meditation techniques from outstanding Tibetan Masters, including H.H. Dalai Lama. Being part of an authentic lineage has infused her chanting and teachings with the power to be a catalyst for profound transformation and growth.
