Dharma is not created by human opinion, it is established by God Himself.
Through the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains what true dharma is and how it is lived. Society has karmis, jnanis, tyagis, and yogis, but Krishna clearly guides Arjuna toward the highest path. Among all yogas, karma, jnana, ashtanga, and bhakti, the Supreme Lord declares the devotee who constantly remembers.
Him with faith and love to be the greatest yogi. Yoga is not a posture or popularity; it is establishing a living connection with the Supreme Father.
🌱🎥 Life doesn’t always go as planned — but it always teaches. A few weeks ago, my life took an unexpected pause due to a sudden surgery. What followed was not just recovery, but reflection. I’ve shared this talk on what that phase taught me — about decision-making, helplessness, silence, relationships, and gratitude.

She began taking drugs at the age of 9. By 45, she had been hospitalized more than 12 times. She had “died” many times medically. Every rehabilitation failed. Every program collapsed.
Then in 2014, on a street in New York, someone gifted her a Bhagavad Gita.
That one encounter changed the direction of her life.
She didn’t just quit drugs. She discovered purpose. She embraced discipline, mantra, devotion, and inner healing.
Today, that same woman is the founder of one of the largest de-addiction programs in North America, helping thousands every year break free from drugs and alcohol.
This is not a theory. This is transformation. This is the science of the soul.
When consciousness changes, habits fall. When purpose awakens, addictions lose power.
It was a privilege to be at the ET Edge India’s Impactful CEOs Conclave Mumbai and to engage with such a thoughtful gathering of leaders.
I spoke on the power of mindfulness and stillness in today’s leadership. In a world driven by speed, disruption, and constant decision-making, the ability to pause, listen deeply, and respond with clarity is no longer a luxury—it is essential strength.
What touched me most were the conversations that followed. Leaders shared how stillness, awareness, and inner alignment are no longer seen as “soft” ideas, but as the very foundation of resilient, ethical, and people-centric leadership.
Just as Arjuna’s moment of conscious choice on the battlefield gave the world the Bhagavad Gita, every leader today stands at their own Kurukshetra—where clarity of purpose, mastery of the mind, and surrender to higher wisdom shape not just success, but legacy.
Grateful for the openness, sincerity, and the collective seeking—not merely for growth, but for wisdom in action.
Q. What was your salary package when you left America?
I had everything the world calls “success”, a six-figure dollar salary, a valid H1B, a green card in process, and a future secured in America. Yet, sitting at an airport in Columbus in 2011, one question echoed in my heart: “Are you sure? Once you board this flight, there is no coming back.”
This was not a forced decision. No visa expiry. No job loss. No pressure. It was a conscious choice , between comfort and calling, between security and surrender, between a crore-package life and a life of purpose.
Fear did come. Doubts did arise in the first few months. But in the association of devotees, in the simplicity of the monastery, something deeper awakened, peace, clarity, and an unshakeable conviction:
When I walk towards truth, the heart never regrets.
Spirituality was never meant to be dry, distant, or disconnected from life. Yet, for many urban youth and professionals, it feels exactly that, boring, theoretical, and irrelevant.
Evolve Pune was born to change this perception.
Instead of waiting for people to come to temples, the idea was simple yet revolutionary: 👉 Take wisdom to where people already are, colleges, corporates, societies, homes. 👉 Blend ancient Vedic insights with modern lifestyle challenges. 👉 Create an experience, not just a lecture. 👉 Speak in a language Gen Z and working professionals can relate to.
Another powerful vision was neutrality with authenticity. Rather than leading with institutional labels, Evolve Pune chose to lead with wisdom and experience. Let people first connect, feel, and understand. Once trust is built, the roots naturally reveal themselves.
Today, Evolve Pune is not just an offline forum but also an online platform, courses, sessions, and spiritual tools for anyone seeking clarity, purpose, and inner growth in the middle of a fast-moving life.
Because spirituality is not an escape from life. It is the art of living it better.
When someone throws garbage at you, remember, it doesn’t become yours unless you pick it up. Not every word deserves your reaction, not every insult deserves your attention. Protect your peace. Let their negativity fall where it belongs. You walk on, clean and calm.

Do your part with sincerity. Show up every day with love and responsibility.
But release the urge to control when results should appear.
When effort is aligned with trust, life unfolds with far less anxiety and far more grace.

Special Jagannath Festival - A day where hearts came together in devotion, gratitude, and celebration.
From folded hands to smiling faces, from children to elders, every moment echoed unity, humility, and joy.
When service becomes an offering and togetherness becomes prayer, festivals turn into experiences that uplift the soul.
May this year begin with devotion in the heart, harmony in relationships, and purpose in every step.

Anger doesn’t disappear when we push it down.
It dissolves when we look at it honestly.
Awareness creates space.
And in that space, anger loses its power.

Words carry energy. A harsh word may seem small in the moment, but it quietly builds distance between hearts.
Speak with awareness, because some gaps created by unkind words take a lifetime to heal, and some become too wide to ever cross.
