Rajiv grew up in Bombay, India surrounded by many ancient spiritual traditions. He was exposed to many gurus, lamas, mystics, masters, and their teachings, but it still left him unresolved. He wanted to discover a whole man not split by polarizing forces, so he set off for another shore to discover the west. Much like an explorer and an investigative journalist, Rajiv studied Vipassana (Insight Meditation), Bioenergetics (Body Psychotherapy), worked in corporate leadership for over 2 decades, was a visual artist, and designed clothes, all in service of discovering a whole man and to speak to it.
Rajiv saw that the pursuit of self-improvement is in the way of being awake, and that awareness can flower only when you can see things as they are, without any division. He discovered that renunciation was possible without leaving worldly life - a dance with life with tremendous energy and joy in it.
Seeing all this clearly, he felt a palpable connection and resonance with all of life. It prepared him to become available and to offer direction with no one and nothing excluded.
Rajiv has taught in India and North America.
