Meet Rishi
Allow me to share a bit about myself. As an East African Indo-Canadian who spent my formative years in Uganda, I was surrounded by a rich tapestry of cultures and philosophies that shaped my view on life and spirituality. My journey into this realm began with a book called The Search in Secret India by Paul Brunton, followed closely by Autobiography of a Yogi. These profound works sparked my curiosity and passion for spiritual exploration.
My path was further illuminated by the teachings of my Master Osho, introduced to me by my father, a devoted follower. Initially, Osho's insights felt elusive, but through heartfelt conversations with my father, I began to appreciate their depth. Despite facing material challenges, the strong emotional bonds within my family instilled in me a lasting sense of gratitude.
Growing up, I navigated the complexities of adolescence while dealing with ADHD and dyslexia. These challenges fueled my curiosity about the world and led me to explore both social experiences and spiritual journeys. A pivotal moment came when my mother sent me to India during my summer holidays. Immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of the textile market in Gujarat, I learned to find beauty in life’s smallest details, which deepened my understanding of human connection and entrepreneurship.
A significant turning point in my journey occurred when we visited my grandmother, who was suffering from Parkinson's disease. This farewell made me confront the impermanence of life and strengthened my resolve to seek a deeper understanding of spirituality.
Throughout my quest for knowledge, I have engaged in various spiritual practices—from Pranayama and Qi Gong to ZaZen meditation with a monk, Vipassana retreats, and teachings from esteemed masters. Each experience has enriched my understanding and helped cultivate a sense of liberation and joy.
At GoZenYourself, we offer carefully curated meditations that open the door to your inner light. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and emotional release, guiding each other closer to our true selves.
Thank you for being part of this transformative journey.
Namaste
