The Song of the Self

It takes chutzpah to proclaim that you’re a writer. To pretend that you are qualified to lay claim to a few minutes or hours of another person’s time. And yet, here I am, claiming to be a writer. I’m astonished. But, I have my reasons for it.

“I went into the book with pretty low expectations based on the fact I hadn’t heard of the author, this was his first book and anyone can “publish” anything on the Kindle platform now and call it a book. Boy, was I wrong. This book blew my socks off.”

The Vedanta Channel

Join me on Youtube on the Vedanta Channel, where I present thought provoking ideas from the world’s oldest religion – Hinduism. The spiritual heart of Hinduism is Vedanta, a philosophy that is thousands of years old and yet continues to remain fresh and inspiring to this day. I capture the lessons from my learnings on Hinduism and Vedanta in short videos, which I hope will enrich your life.
