I was born in Jamnagar, India and immigrated to New Jersey with my family when I was very young. Growing up in the United States was a rewarding but tough experience. I struggled with immersing myself in my new community while trying to find a better sense of direction and meaning, alongside my cultural identity.

​

After graduating college, I spent the next few years working on Wall Street. What I thought would finally be the most fulfilling time in my life turned out to be the emptiest. Amid other personal struggles I was going through at the time, I realized that financial success in the absence of spiritual and devotional depth is superficial and fleeting.

 

Looking back towards my roots for a solution, I studied the principles of Vedanta in Hinduism, and it did wonders for my mental health, personal and spiritual identity, as well as my general outlook on life. Since then, I have basked in a renewed sense of purpose. I founded Vedantic Life and started working on sharing my perspective and insight to others, many of which can relate to my experiences here in the US.
