In a popular sense, Vedanta means the end of the Vedas. However, it is not the only meaning. Veda also means knowledge. Therefore, Vedanta literally means the end of knowledge or knowing. What is the end of knowledge? The end of scriptural knowledge is the beginning of transcendental knowledge, which is beyond the mind and the senses.

Born and brought up in a brahmin family in Assam, I have been grown in a surrounding seeing my parents into spirituality and Bhakti yoga hence since childhood I have been inclined towards it.

Meditation became a part of my ritual at the age of 15, along with reciting scriptures or chanting mantras with my parents in any religious occasions at home and temple.

I have been introduced to yoga asana as part of physical activity during my Lawn tennis practice in my early years.

After my studies I have mostly spent time working with the wellness industry promoting Ayurveda and yoga and wellness tourism in India.

Later encountered with a shoulder injured while playing tennis I took asana practice to heal my injuries and started studying it deeply.

I study and practice Ashtanga yoga with my teacher at Mysore at the source and I share my practice of the traditional method of Ashtanga with the fellow practitioner. My practice and sharing methodology is based on breathing, alignments, focusing and internal locks keeping the spiritual aspect into it.

My parents always mentions that, without spiritual aspect in our practice, a practitioner may become directionless.
