In 2002, Preetha Krishna founded the Women's Movement for the Golden Age in Bangalore.[14] In 2009 along with her husband, Krishna, also known as 'Krishnaji',[15] she co-founded One World Academy,[16] a philosophy and meditation school in Kanchipuram,[17] that later turned into O&O Academy.[18]

In 2018, Preetha Krishna along with her husband created the Ekam World Peace Festival[19] which is an annual meditation event conducted at Ekam.

Krishna is the daughter-in-law of "self-styled godman" Kalki Bhagavan.[25]

In 2019, the Income Tax Department raided premises associated with Preetha Krishna and issued an order against her over unaccounted for cash and undeclared assets.
