The mind presents a profound paradox. It is a collection of beliefs, attitudes, delusions, and illusions, yet it remains the core of our intellect. It can craft either ‘heaven’ or ‘hell’ within the span of a single breath. Learning to manage this incredibly powerful instrument, which can also act as a destructive weapon, is arguably life’s most important mastery.
Engage with this talk, reflect deeply, and uncover the hidden mechanism behind every emotion, along with the path to freedom from it. By the end, it becomes clear that whatever is experienced arises in the mind, and that life and one’s world can be transformed by working on one’s perception and reaction.
Break Free from Emotional Baggage with This Transformative Two-Word Mantra
Are you tired of being stuck in repetitive emotional patterns, haunted by your past, and overwhelmed by regret? This powerful new video dives into a life-changing concept that blends spiritual clarity, emotional resilience, and mental discipline through the use of two deceptively simple yet profound mantras: “So what?” and “What next?”.
Rooted in Vedanta, and enriched by a personal journey of spiritual transformation, this message is a wake-up call for those ready to reclaim their power. Whether you’re on the path of self-inquiry, seeking personal development, or aiming to cultivate a growth mindset, this video offers direct and practical tools to help you move forward.
Let go of self-pity, stop dwelling on the past, and embrace conscious living. The time to transform your inner world is now.
As we take a moment to reflect on our lives, let’s remind ourselves that a new year, whether it’s the Gregorian year or any other marker of time, by itself cannot do anything. It is our perception of things and our attitude towards life that truly influence our lives.
In my opinion, what we need to first strive for is clarity—clarity in the way we think, perceive, and judge. For this, some fundamental understanding of oneself and universal oneness is essential.
In our world, filled with numerous cults, groups, spiritual leaders and gurus, it is crucial to recognise the true qualities of divinity, which are honesty, sincerity, compassion, modesty, and gratitude. These virtues surpass any specific doctrine or tradition.
TThe Vedas, Upanishads, and the Srimad Bhagavad Gita are invaluable tools designed to guide individuals towards selflessness. However, although they make things easier for a seeker, they are not the only path to achieving a divine state. Many remarkable people who have never encountered these texts exhibit profound divinity, suggesting that true spirituality transcends any specific set of teachings.
In the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Shloka 2:46, Krishna says that one who has attained SELF-realisation needs the Vedas as much as one would need a well when it is flooded everywhere. This illustrates that attaining supreme knowledge is the highest goal.
Everyone’s spiritual journey is unique. The purpose of Karma Yoga, or performing one’s duty without expecting results, is to maintain a balanced state of mind. Emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, hatred, and envy are born from our perceptions. These emotions are merely waves in the otherwise tranquil ocean of awareness.
When we learn to perceive things differently, we can face and handle challenges better. However, the root causes of mental pain, sadness, and suffering are often attachments and our expectations.
The greatest lesson I have learned from life’s ups and downs is to never expect anything from anyone or life itself. Instead, relish every moment, knowing that anything can happen at any time. Being alive, healthy, sane, and conscious is a gift to be celebrated.
I think that feeling upset about things can also be seen as a form of arrogance or entitlement. It is because it overlooks the miracle of life happening with every heartbeat, which, by the way, can stop at any time.
BBy cultivating a profound understanding of this, we can achieve peace in any circumstance. Introspecting and recognising our fundamentally innate honest and sincere nature reveals the misguided notions arising from a lack of clarity, which obscure our divine true self. Challenging situations refine and polish us, leading to the highest clarity and the ultimate state of Krishna.
Please reflect on the following Shlokas from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita:
SBG 14:23 Krishna says: “He remains unattached and is not moved by sense objects. He knows that it is the senses and the mind born of the Gunas that act while his real Self remains unwavering in all situations.”
SBG 14:24 “He is the same in pleasure as well as in pain; is established in the Self; he is one to whom a lump of earth, a stone and gold are no different from each other; he treats equally the friendly and the unfriendly, and accepts praise or criticism with equanimity.”
SBG 14:25 “He who remains unmoved in honour and dishonour; is the same to friend and foe, and has renounced all actions by giving up claims of being the ‘Doer’, is said to have transcended the three Gunas.”
SBG 14:26 “He who serves Me with unflinching devotion and transcends the Gunas, is fit for becoming Brahman.”
SBG 14:27 “For I am the abode of the formless Brahman, the imperishable and the immutable, of eternal Dharma and of absolute bliss.”
Reflect on these teachings to find peace and equanimity in your spiritual journey. Once such clarity has been achieved, every new day can be celebrated as the first day of the rest of your life, without waiting for any calendar to announce and validate it.
As we embark on our own journeys, let us seek the fruits of the Tree of Abundance. This metaphorical tree, rooted in the fertile soil of knowledge and wisdom, offers us an endless bounty. From its branches hang the fruits of health, prosperity, and happiness, each one a result of the nurturing power of understanding and insight. When we cultivate our minds with learning and awareness, we gain the true wealth that life has to offer. May the Tree of Abundance bless you with its riches, nourishing every aspect of your life and guiding you towards a future filled with endless possibilities.
Please remember that if you continue to be what you have always been and do what you have always done, your life will continue to be how it has always been. Different results need different inputs. It all starts with knowledge. It is usually through the transformative power of knowledge that one can plant the seeds of change and harvest a future abundant with new possibilities.
Learning to Understand the Mysteries of the Universe – Ancient Vedantic Wisdom Meets Modern Science
In this day and age, with scientific advancements revolutionising every field, it’s increasingly challenging to accept traditional narratives like ‘god’ creating man in his image or crafting the universe in six days and so on. Such beliefs often lead to the perplexing question: who created ‘god’? This inquiry spirals into an infinite regress, providing no satisfying answers.
Welcome to an incredible journey of transformation with V.E.V.—Veganism, Exercise, and Vedanta. These three pillars form the core of my lifestyle, bringing unparalleled health, vitality, and inner peace. In the video below, I share how adopting these principles has revolutionised my life.
The Power of Veganism
A balanced vegan diet, rich in essential nutrients, fuels my body and keeps me energised and youthful. Embracing a compassionate lifestyle not only benefits my health but also promotes environmental sustainability and animal welfare.
The Importance of Exercise
Regular physical activity is crucial for maintaining strength and fitness. I explore the various exercises and routines that help me stay active and in top shape. Whether it’s hitting the gym, cycling, or yoga, staying physically active is a key component of my balanced life.
The Wisdom of Vedanta
Vedanta provides the mental clarity and peace necessary for making wise decisions and living a balanced life. This ancient philosophy helps reduce fears, worries, and feelings of inadequacy, allowing me to build a strong foundation for overall well-being.
If you’re looking to improve your health, embrace a compassionate lifestyle, or find inner peace, my video offers valuable insights and inspiration. Join me as I delve into the transformative power of V.E.V. and discover how to live a vibrant, balanced, and fulfilling life.

Evolution is the natural order of life. Just as a pupa transforms into a beautiful butterfly, everything in nature is in a constant state of change and growth. This transformation is not just necessary but inevitable, driven by the forces of nature to improve, adapt, and thrive.
However, some choose to resist this natural process, clinging to outdated ways of thinking, strange beliefs in the name of religion, lost positions or property, former relationships, and old ways of being. This resistance is a denial of life’s fundamental principle—growth. By refusing to evolve, they remain stagnant, living in a state of delusion. In doing so, they waste the precious resources that nature provides, occupying space without contributing to the flow of progress.
Just as the butterfly’s emergence from its chrysalis is a testament to the power of transformation, so too should we embrace our own potential for growth. To resist evolution is to deny the very essence of life. By choosing to evolve, we not only fulfil our purpose but also honour the natural world that supports us.
What if I told you that anger isn’t something to be feared or suppressed, but rather a powerful force that, when harnessed wisely, can drive incredible change in your life?
Well, some people are happy with their lives, not so happy, sad, or even sick of their lives. If everything is going well, and you are happy, just continue doing what you are doing and living the way you are. I don’t propagate the ideas of ‘good and bad’ or ‘right and wrong,’ which I consider dogmatic. Common sense alone tells us that something is good and right if it makes us happy and in no way harms our health, surroundings, nature, or others.
However, many are unhappy, dissatisfied, depressed, weak, or scared and would like to change their lives for the better. For those who genuinely want to make changes, however big or small, here are some steps you might want to follow:
Identifying the Problems
Write down what you don’t like about your current situation, whether it’s your appearance, living circumstances, work, mindset, or any other area of your life. Be as specific as possible. I have given some easy and practical hacks in my video titled ‘Shatter the Cycle: BURN and RESET your Karma!’
Setting Clear Goals
Next, think about what you want to achieve. What does your ideal self look like? How do you want to feel or think differently? Write down these goals so that you have a clear target to aim for. Be absolutely specific and describe your ideal self in detail.
Execution
Once you’ve identified your problems and set your goals, begin outlining the steps or strategies needed to achieve them. This might involve altering your habits, seeking guidance, or acquiring new skills. Concentrate on taking small, manageable actions that will steadily progress you towards your objectives.
By breaking it down into these steps, you’ll have a clearer path to follow, making it easier to track your progress and stay motivated along the way.
Sitting alone, fretting, fuming, or complaining will only lead to self-pity, and that will ensure that your life stays exactly the way it is now, if not worse.
A Personal Story of Transformation
Thirty years ago, during a 48-hour self-imposed retreat, I conceived and meticulously crafted ‘Project KR’, where I defined and redefined exactly how I wanted my life to unfold.
Almost everything I described in Project KR has been happening so far. This includes the realisation of far-fetched aims, such as meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, and many other things that would have seemed impossible at that time.
I must emphasise that the goals and strategies I outlined in my playbook, which I boldly committed to nearly 30 years ago – defying all conventional thought processes and career planning – have not only materialised but have done so with astonishing precision, even in the finer details. Keep in mind, Rhonda Byrne’s ‘The Secret’ hadn’t even been written back then!
Likely Source of My Determination
My determination likely stemmed from the intense anger I harboured due to the wrongs inflicted upon me by others, which I now recognise as a result of my own naïveté or even foolishness. It’s often said that necessity is the mother of invention, and my ‘necessity,’ or rather my overwhelming drive to transform my life, was so powerful that I was able to create possibilities out of seemingly nothing.
The Triple ‘Z’: Zeal, Zest, and Zing
Around the time I embarked on my 48-hour self-reflection, I was teaching French at several management colleges. I closely observed the mindsets of my students, aged 18 to 20. Among them, only a few exhibited a profound, intense drive to set ambitious goals, achieve them, and pursue a more fulfilling life. This further reinforced my belief that not everyone possesses a high level of drive. While this isn’t inherently wrong, it can result in either a lacklustre future or a life devoid of Zeal, Zest, and Zing – qualities I was highly driven to attain and live my life to the fullest, which I had almost lost in some major accidents earlier.
In the biographies of many great individuals I’ve read, one common thread stands out: they never blamed others for their circumstances. Instead, they took full responsibility, charted their own paths, and forged ahead with determination.
Final Thoughts:
Some people write to me saying that they want to improve their lives, looks, happiness, relationships, etc., but are unable to achieve them.

Karma Hacks
The concept of karma, often misunderstood or shrouded in superstition, is essentially about the patterns and outcomes in our lives that are heavily influenced by our own attitudes, actions, and reactions. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how Karma functions and impacts our lives and even those of our descendants:
