I did not test this, but something like...
Code:
find <top-level-directory> -type f | while read INFILE
do
        if grep -q shyam ${INFILE} 
        then
                sed -e "s/shyam/ram/g" ${INFILE} > tmpfile
                mv tmpfile ${INFILE}
        fi
done

TBF2LPS(1)							   User Commands							TBF2LPS(1)

NAME

       tbf2lps - convert a muCRL LPE to an mCRL2 LPS

SYNOPSIS

       tbf2lps [OPTION]... [INFILE [OUTFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

       Read  mCRL  LPS from INFILE, convert it to a mCRL2 LPS and save the result to OUTFILE. If OUTFILE is not present, stdout is used. If INFILE
       is not present, stdin is used. To use stdin and save the output to a file, use '-' for INFILE.

       This conversion assumes that Bool is the boolean sort with constructors T and F. Additionally, the following conversions on the data speci-
       fication will be applied:
	 constructors T, F: -> Bool are replaced by true and false,
	 mapping and: Bool # Bool -> Bool is replaced by ||, and
	 mapping eq: S # S -> Bool is replaced by == for each sort S

OPTIONS

       OPTION can be any of the following:

       -n, --no-conv-map
	      do not apply conversion of mappings and equations

       --timings[=FILE]
	      append timing measurements to FILE. Measurements are written to standard error if no FILE is provided

       Standard options:

       -q, --quiet
	      do not display warning messages

       -v, --verbose
	      display short intermediate messages

       -d, --debug
	      display detailed intermediate messages

       --log-level=LEVEL
	      display intermediate messages up to and including level

       -h, --help
	      display help information

       --version
	      display version information
