Piyush Gaur

My friends,

I am very glad that you are here. Namaskar & Welcome. Not everyone believes in how the philosophy of life brings a profound change in people, and hence, not everyone believes in sharing their stories. But after long soul-searching and hesitation, I have decided to share my story. It has its own unique turns and many things are difficult to explain from pure rational thought. But here is the brief story of an ordinary person.

Embraced by the Himalayas

I began my journey in the lap of the Himalayas, a realm of purity and a lineage of spirituality. In my early years, my father was thrust into a whirlwind tour across India’s vast cultural and spiritual expanse—new faces, traditions, customs, and languages. I was an ordinary child, plagued by a quick temper and an abundance of untamed energy. And to tame the tempest within, I found solace in the world of sports.

The Angry Youth

At the tender age of 15, the fates steered me towards the path of engineering, a world of pure logic and equations that could never quench the burning desire within my soul. Even amidst the scientific rigor, my heart yearned for something deeper, leading me to sacred places of worship from various faiths, each whispering a common message amidst their rituals.

14 rupees that changed my Life

I was returning back from the U.K., waiting at platform 4 at Delhi’s Nizamuddin train station to go to my parent’s place. It was on an ordinary day when destiny intervened. A book by Swami Vivekananda, priced at a mere 14 rupees, kindled an inner fire that would illuminate my very existence. That night, visions and dreams overtook me; an encounter with my younger self (different time), my maternal grandmother, and the enigmatic presence of Narendranath, later known as Vivekananda, filled me with purpose.

In a heartbeat, my anger transformed into serenity, and the cacophony of life yielded to clarity, like the dissipating fog under the rising sun.

Walking with the Philosophers and Spiritual Luminaries

From that moment, I was irresistibly drawn to the profound mysteries of existence. I embarked on a relentless quest, learning from spiritual luminaries such as the Dalai Lama, Sri Sri, and Jain gurus. I delved into the teachings of modern philosophers, from Descartes to Nietzsche, and how their wisdom shaped the 21st century.

The Turnaround

Even those who had witnessed my tumultuous childhood were astounded by the transformation in me. Friends who had once been the recipients of my youthful wrath now turned to me for life guidance.

By now, I was deeply involved with the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), guiding others through meditation and sharing the truths that had transformed my life. Yet, a profound conflict loomed within me — should I pursue a life immersed in the material world or dedicate myself fully to the spiritual path? I chose the latter, relinquishing the comforts of the world. For months, I survived on meager resources, sometimes subsisting on just a single Kit Kat bar per day. Yet, my resolve remained unbroken, my heart filled with peace.

A Vision and A Crossroads

However, life had its own lessons to impart. My parents fell ill, and the weight of familial responsibility compelled me to consider a return to the professional world. It was during this tumultuous period that Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda’s guru, appeared in a vision, advising me that I was not yet ready to renounce the world. I needed to live within both realms, bridging the spiritual and the worldly.

I embraced this unique journey, and my life began to take shape as an intricate mosaic, weaving together spirituality and modernity. Across six countries, I made strides in groundbreaking tech innovations, garnered patents, and received accolades such as the Leadership Award from the University of Toronto. All the while, my Guru continued to guide me, revealing the synchronicities that bound both worlds in a grand design.

A Calling in Global Stillness and birth of Interc0nnectedness 

In the tumultuous year of 2020, the world was brought to a standstill by a global pandemic. It was a time when people around me grappled with isolation, work pressures, and their own mental well-being. To anchor myself, I clung to the meditative practices that had been my constant companions. Soon, friends and colleagues sought my guidance, and I began offering free meditation sessions, both in person and virtually.

This act of compassion and support spanned several years and culminated in a transformative meditation in 2022. It was then that my guru whispered to me to share the wisdom of “Interc0nnected” — a harmonious blend of Dharma, timeless wisdom, the power of nature, and inner Calm with the world. The time had come to realign my purpose and commit my full attention to the spiritual path.

And so, through countless mindfulness sessions, engagements with schools, universities, corporations, and events, I stand here today, at the threshold of a new beginning. The world may be in disarray, spiraling in chaos, and grappling with spiritual dissonance, but “Interconnected” holds a beacon of hope.

If you find yourself lost in the labyrinth of life, yearning for deeper meaning, as a friend, I extend my hand to you. Let us embark on this epic odyssey together, unveiling the intricately woven tapestry of existence.
