Excerpts...

Do you believe in karma or the cycle of karma?

Yes. Karma is a law like gravity, if you understand it, you can use it to your advantage. It's not a trap; awareness through meditation can help you change your karmic path.

What inspired you to write about immortality?

Facing mortality, trauma, and chaos in life led me to deeper reflection. I wanted to help people connect with their authentic purpose.

How does Mahakal influence your view on time?

Mahakal symbolizes transcendence of time, no past, present, or future. Regret and guilt trap us in sorrow; overcoming time frees us.

What's your view on people justifying addictions using Shiva's name?

True saints are not under substances. Enlightenment is cognitive. Substances mimic peace, but real spiritual growth is substance-free.

How can meditation help achieve timelessness?

It frees us from past traumas and emotional blocks, helping us live fully in the present, with clarity and joy.

What is self-realization in relation to karma?

It's the power to break the karmic cycle through awareness. Indian philosophy uniquely offers this freedom to rise above karma.

What is the core principle of Yoga of Immortals?

Chetan Atma, the infinite is within. Yoga of Immortals unites us with divine consciousness through practice and inner awakening.

How do you balance spirituality with a modern lifestyle?

Technology gives us more time than ever. We just need to stop wasting it and use it for spiritual growth. It's the best time for it.

What's your message to the youth?

Meditation is not a luxury, it's a survival tool. You deserve happiness, and awareness can help you find your path.
