Since
early childhood Satyaa expressed an intense love for music, art and
dance. As a child she was spending hours and hours with singing and
listening to music learning lyrics of songs she liked. This led her to
the study of piano, classical and modern dance. After finishing a
musical high school she studied visual arts (cinema, photography and
painting) at the University of Beaux Arts of Geneva.
This
love for art, dance and music expanded into a longing to find out more
about herself and true Art which has led her into the ashram of Osho in
Poona in the year 1989. She went there together with her mother who had
dropped out of a well established life in Geneva, following the call of
her heart for freedom. Satyaa settled into a completely new life in
India, feeling that this was the place she would stay forever.
The encounter with Osho opened
up another level of depth in all areas: she experienced the Dance
without any dancer, Song without any singer. Osho was encouraging to
explore the ultimate presence that we are, using all kind of methods and
technics; one day while she was dancing doing the Latihan meditation (a
meditation where you connect the Divine through dance), she completely
dropped into this vast space of emptiness and absolute presence where
all activities happen by themselves, all dance happens without any
performer.
After Osho had left his body in 1990 she was led "by grace", as Papaji from Lucknow
used to call it, to him. He told her - and that´s exactly what she felt
in her heart - that her "previous master has sent you here".
Soon
it was clear that this wasn´t just a short visit and she became a long
time resident there while her mother also moved to live in Lucknow.
Satyaa´s love for music, dance and singing started to burn intensely also in Lucknow, since Papaji started to encourage people to sing and dance in his Satsang. She
was often singing for him and the direct contact with this man looking
into her eyes while dancing or singing, made it clear that there was
only the one song, the one dance, that we all share in the Heart.
In Lucknow she met Pari, to
whom she soon was to get married by Papaji. They discovered that they
also shared a deep love for music and singing - that´s what they have
been doing ever since.
Soon
after this she moved to Corfu, Greece, in 1995, where she has been
living with Pari and their daughter Mira, who was born in 2000. Satyaa
has been sharing her love for God and Truth in weekly gatherings at the
Alexis Zorbas Center which Pari had co-founded in 1991..
She
started to travel with Pari all over the world leading retreats,
chanting seminars and concerts touching many people´s hearts with her
Love and Fire for Truth. Currently she is living in Munich, Germany with
Pari and Mira. In the summer months she is spending much time in Corfu,
Greece.
