Maya's Biography
Maya was born on February 4th, 1993, as Sangam Panta, in Kathmandu, Nepal. In his own words, from a young age, he was mostly away from societal presence and practices, which allowed him to develop and learn from his own experiences, observing the society around him and gaining an early understanding of the human mind and the nature of existence. After completing his secondary school, he joined high school and studied physics, biology, and chemistry, but these subjects could not answer his deeper questions about the world, life, death, and reality. So, he decided to explore further in the field of music and spirituality, joining Ethnomusicology in bachelors.

During one of his singing sessions, he realized that by singing, the mind becomes quieter, and a deeper state of relaxation is reached. He learned to play different instruments and became more focused on the way the sound they produce has an effect on the human physical and emotional bodies. He realized that just like the crest and trough of vibrations in sound, there is a cycle of emotions in human experience that surrounds the entire universe.

After the 2015 Nepal earthquake, he felt the need of finding a place to learn about properly meditating and deeply understanding the experiences he was having. His wife Pushpa Palanchoke took him to Shiva Yog Sadhana Kendra Ashram in Nepal during a youth workshop program, where he met with his spiritual Master “Guru Ama Radhika”. In the ashram, Maya's spiritual journey led him to explore various practices of Yoga and Tantra Sadhana and eventually establish Maya Satsang to share his experiences and teachings with others.

Maya has spent many years studying and experimenting with various forms of Yoga, Mantra, Yantra, and Tantra Sadhana, and has found inner peace and union with the self through these practices. He wanted to share this knowledge with others and help them find the same inner peace and connection with the self. While in Nepal, he started receiving questions from various people from Nepali, Hindi, English, and Spanish language backgrounds. This led to the creation of Maya Satsang, where mysticism, mindfulness, and meditation are shared with the world through various activities.

The Mystic Maya's teachings have helped people from various professional backgrounds such as musicians, teachers, artists, photographers, lawyers, data scientists, filmmakers, health workers, and students to find inner peace and connection with themselves. His discourses and meditation sessions were recorded and published online as podcasts  , which helped him to reach an international audience.

During his time in Europe, Mystic Maya completed a Master's degree in Cinema Sound, where he learned about various ways of expressing emotions through music and sound. This experience helped him connect more with Western audiences and reinforced his understanding that by letting go of personal and socio-cultural stories, an individual can reach meditative states and have various spiritual experiences.

In Europe he created Meditation Groups in Estonia, and Portugal and also held Meditation and Mindfulness workshops in the universities , and public parks. Maya was given the Harmony Room in Hektor Container Hotel in Tallinn for his weekly meditation sessions in 2022, and 2023.
