Ramdey is a pen name—the name of her late grandmother—chosen as an act of continuity. It reflects an understanding of identity not as something invented, but as something carried forward through time, memory, and responsibility.
Ramdey is of Indian origin. Born and raised in the Netherlands to parents born in South America, her background reflects a layered cultural lineage.
At the age of ten, Ramdey was initiated into the guru–śiṣya paramparā and began studying Vedic science, a discipline she continues to engage with as a lifelong inquiry.
Central to her inner and creative life is her devotion to the Dus Mahāvidyās—ten forms of the Goddess within Sanātana Dharma—which inform her understanding of consciousness, discipline, and transformation.
Ramdey is a trained keyboardist who began formal music training at the age of six. She now composes original piano works, available on streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Saavn.
Her professional background includes work in psychiatric institutions and studies in the biomedical field, which gave her insight into the human mind and human vulnerability. Over time, her dedication to art and creation became her primary focus.
I cannot offer my life experience to another, and vice versa, but I hope my work provides its readers with a different perspective, as our experience of life is shaped by the lens through which we view the world.”

“After doing internships at psychiatric institutions, after losing loved ones to deep inner battles, and after enduring violence as a woman, I began to question the nature of suffering.
Why does pain carve such different paths in each of us? Why do some collapse beneath its weight, while others carry it quietly, even with grace? Is it strength, wiring, circumstance, or something less visible? I found no simple answers, only the quiet presence of my grandmother, who had suffered too, yet carried her pain with a certain clarity. She taught me that healing is not only about what happens to us, but about how we come to see it. And sometimes, that seeing requires help, both professional and personal.
After my Nani, my grandmother, left this earthly realm, I turned to my art more than ever. Not as a cure, but as a way of offering perspective. If it could help even one person feel a little less lonely, then it had meaning.
Our stories are never ours alone. They are vessels of memory, mirrors for others, and healing tools passed hand to hand through time. That is why storytelling holds such sacred weight in the human experience. Every form of art tells a story—not just the written word, but sound, image, movement, and even silence. Art is not a substitute for care, but a companion to it. A quiet way of saying: I see you. Keep going.” —
