Spiritual Experiences

From his childhood, he learnt meditation from the wandering monks and ascetics who happened to pass by their village farmhouse. He was guided by Divine force. He was often found absorbed in deep meditation under a Peepal tree in the forest near his house. His early years, from the age eight to fourteen, were rich with divine experiences. While he was working in a corporate job in London, many uncommon mystical experiences happened to him. His first deep realization happened at Thornton Heath London.[5] [7]

Later on, from 2004 to 2010 he went for long silence meditation in Uttarkashi, Himalaya. His deeper realization of cosmic God consciousness happens at Uttarkashi and Gomukh.

It is a science, science of well-being, science of youthfulness, science of integrating body, mind and soul.[12][13][14] He advocates for creating peace and positive vibration on earth. He emphasizes that it does not matter how long we are spending on earth, or how much money we have gathered or how much attention we have received.

According to him there is no better example for a child than a caring mother and a dignified father.[18]
