Introduction
in the fields of yoga, psychiatry, philosophy, and government.
Founder of the Jain Meditation International Center in New York City, of which Gurudev is the spiritual leader, he has inspired his students in Brazil, India, Canada, Kenya, England, and diverse parts of America to open centers where the philosophy of reverence for life can be taught and practiced. Throughout the many changing phases of his life, as a monk or a family man, as a teacher or a student, he has been communicating from his heart the underlying oneness he feels with all forms of life, inviting mankind to see, experience, and rejoice.
