Growing up in an oppressive environment, Rajiv faced hardships that many would find overwhelming. At just 19, he lost his father suddenly, and with that loss came the heavy burden of responsibility. Forced to leave school, he became the sole provider for his widowed mother and younger sister. In the midst of this struggle, *The Bhagavad Gita*, a book he had read in his youth, became his anchor, offering him the strength and guidance to navigate those dark and difficult days.
Despite the weight of these challenges, Rajiv built a life for himself. He found success in business, married, and became a father to two daughters. But in 2011, his life took a devastating turn. A significant personal blow plunged him into a deep depression, a darkness so profound that it brought him to the brink of despair. Rajiv found himself grappling with suicidal thoughts, questioning the very reason for his existence. He sought help from therapists, and though there were moments of recovery, the relentless anxiety and crippling loss of self-confidence left him feeling lost and broken.
In 2018, Rajiv was hit by yet another life crisis, one that deepened his isolation and despair. The suicidal thoughts returned, and he felt more disconnected from life than ever before. He couldn’t understand why he was still here, what purpose his life served. But somehow, despite the darkness that enveloped him, it seemed that God had different plans. Even when he felt he had nothing left to give, something kept him searching—searching for meaning, for healing, for a reason to continue.
Rajiv turned to spiritual practices, attending Vipassana retreats that offered him moments of peace amidst the turmoil. He continued to seek help from therapists and read widely in his quest for answers. In 2021, he discovered *A Course in Miracles*, a book that would change his understanding of life and spirituality. It offered him a new perspective, one that began to heal the deep wounds within him. Yet, the journey was far from over, leading him twice to Rishikesh, India, in search of deeper clarity and peace.
Through all of this, Rajiv found a new purpose growing within him—a calling to help others who, like him, have felt lost, broken, and without hope. Today, Rajiv dedicates his life to guiding people of all ages—whether they are young teenagers struggling to find their place, adults facing life’s harshest challenges, or elderly individuals seeking meaning in their later years. With the guidance from Holy Spirit and with a wealth of personal experience and spiritual wisdom, Rajiv offers a compassionate hand to those in need, helping them find the clarity, peace, and inner strength that he has fought so hard to achieve.
Rajiv’s mission is deeply personal: to support others on their paths to self-discovery, to help them find the light in their darkest moments, and to show them that even when life feels unbearable, there is hope, there is purpose, and there is peace to be found within.
