Rama Koneru
Rama Koneru describes herself as — "A lifetime student of yoga, I write articles about my experiences. I am a student at the Hindu University or America, working towards a degree in Samskritam.

I feel I have not even begun to scratch the surface of what our culture has to offer. The more I study, the less I know it seems."
