The honour was conferred upon her under the guidance of International Saint Gita Manishi Swami Shri Gyananand Ji Maharaj, who bestowed upon her the name ‘Gitika’.

Looking ahead, she aspires to contribute to the nation through her writing and knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita. One of her foremost ambitions is to take the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to the younger generation and readers across the world. She believes that the Gita should not be confined merely to the boundaries of a religious or philosophical text, but should also be embraced as a practical guide to understanding life, navigating challenges and pursuing personal growth.

Throughout this journey, her parents, Mrs. Anita Sen and Mr. Rajesh Kumar, have been her greatest pillars of support. Her father is a senior teacher in the government education system, while her mother is a homemaker. Rania remains deeply grateful to her parents for their encouragement, faith and unwavering support. Their belief in her has given her the inspiration and strength to continue pursuing the path she has chosen.
