Raised in a nuclear family, she learned independence at a young age. At just seven, her mother survived a severe fire accident, while her father\u2019s role as a sales manager required constant travel across states. Circumstances compelled Thanuja to shoulder household responsibilities\u2014managing daily errands, coordinating with neighbors, and navigating adult responsibilities long before her age. These formative years nurtured emotional maturity, adaptability, resilience, and a deep understanding of human behavior.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"893\" data-end=\"1386\">Her mother has been a profound influence, teaching her patience, perseverance, and the art of adjusting with grace during adversity. A strong believer in education and lifelong learning, her mother encouraged Thanuja to explore creativity. This guidance led her into diverse art forms, including <strong data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1240\">Mandala, Madhubani, Warli painting, and crochet<\/strong>. Her exceptional dedication to crochet earned her <strong data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1323\">three Guinness World Records<\/strong>, symbolizing discipline, consistency, and creative excellence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1709\">Thanuja\u2019s father remains her greatest teacher, imparting values of integrity, service, and selfless help through real-life stories. Her elder sister, though older only by age, nurtured in her compassion, responsibility, and care. Together, her family instilled the moral compass and inner strength that guide her journey.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6717\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6717\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6717\" src=\"https:\/\/belgaumnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sree-Thanuja-Abhaya-Thumbnail-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/belgaumnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sree-Thanuja-Abhaya-Thumbnail-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/belgaumnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sree-Thanuja-Abhaya-Thumbnail-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/belgaumnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sree-Thanuja-Abhaya-Thumbnail-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/belgaumnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sree-Thanuja-Abhaya-Thumbnail.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6717\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Three Guinness Records to Transforming Lives: The Courageous Path of Sree Thanuja<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"2156\">In her personal life, Thanuja draws immense strength from her husband\u2019s quiet support and her two children, currently in the 7th and 4th grades. She believes children learn more through observation than instruction, and she strives to inspire them through her actions. Academically, she holds an <strong data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2014\">MBA<\/strong>, completed in her hometown. Though her career initially took a different direction, life\u2019s challenges redirected her toward a higher calling.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2158\" data-end=\"2570\">In her early thirties, a severe ligament tear left her physically immobile and emotionally distressed. This phase was compounded by the loss of her father and a close friend\u2019s accident, pushing her into deep depression and health complications. In her search for healing, she turned to <strong data-start=\"2444\" data-end=\"2452\">yoga<\/strong>. What began as therapy soon became transformation\u2014restoring her body, calming her mind, and strengthening her spirit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2963\">Inspired by this change, Thanuja pursued professional training in <strong data-start=\"2638\" data-end=\"2669\">yoga and clinical nutrition<\/strong> and gradually evolved into a life coach. She began writing short motivational reflections for women grappling with emotional challenges related to family, marriage, finances, and self-worth. Her words became daily affirmations for many, guiding them toward yoga, meditation, and inner balance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"3334\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Today, Sree Thanuja dedicates nearly <strong data-start=\"3002\" data-end=\"3023\">seven hours daily<\/strong> to teaching yoga and meditation. Her mission is to empower women to become emotionally strong, mentally resilient, physically healthy, and confidently self-reliant. She firmly believes true empowerment begins within\u2014and when women are centered, they transform their families, communities, and society at large.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"763\"
