Interview With Author Jyoti Panda

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Dr. Jyoti Udaynath Panda holds a PhD in Commerce and Management with a specialization in Business Policy and Administration. A seasoned Human Resource professional with over 17 years of industry experience, she brings a unique blend of academic insight and practical wisdom to her writing.
Her research has been published in multiple peer-reviewed, international and UGC CARE-listed journals, exploring themes such as emotional wellbeing, effects of online and offline learning, remote work culture, human resource management and sustainable business growth. Beyond her professional life, with deep respect for ancient wisdom, she has studied Sanskrit, Pranic Healing, and Vipassana meditation, and remains a lifelong learner, returning again and again to the Bhagavad Gita for guidance. Her personal journey of mindful living and inner exploration continues to inspire her work, which is grounded in the belief that self-realization is the truest form of success. Thus, committed to self-growth and inner clarity, she writes with the aim of inspiring mindful, conscious living.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My Book – “FROM SCREENLIGHT TO SOULLIGHT” is inspired by my own journey of recognizing the silent grip of screen addiction and choosing to walk the path of inner clarity, presence, and conscious living. It reflects the need to disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with the soul.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I often write in complete silence, right after meditation or during the early morning hours when the world is still. I don’t force words, I let them arrive when they’re ready. Sometimes, a single line will visit me during a walk or while doing a mundane task, and I immediately jot it down. Many of my poems begin that way.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
The latest that influenced me was You can Heal You life by Louis Hay. I have always been a fan of self-help books, motivational and inspirational books, or books that impart knowledge and develop you as a better person.

What are you working on now?
On contributing towards society through my skills and talent.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Still discovering.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Let the intention be to give something good to the society and not just entertainment. Good in terms of health, consciousness, awareness, spirituality, manners, behavior and any such thing that will grow the society towards betterment. There is so much entertainment around already, we don’t really need to add up there.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be consistent and sincere.

What are you reading now?
Now focusing on writing

What’s next for you as a writer?
May be something related to career guidance as that’s my profession. Yet to freeze.

If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta, Tulsi Das’s Ramayan and Monk who sold the Ferrari.
