Who am I?

Discovering freedom from the mind

Who am I? That was the question which set my life into motion, ultimately leading me to discovering Sivamala.

Born in London, and spending a large slice of existence in search of meaning to life, I have walked many paths. I've stood on both ends of the spectrum, from material to spiritual; good and bad; left, centre, and right of politics; religion and atheism; being a carnivore and a vegetarian; probing our past, living in the present, and thinking about the future. With all the attractions and distractions that exist in our world, today, nothing has ever lured me into the entrapment of my heart, mind and the physical resources at my disposal. I stand apart, in a state of neutrality - a place from which I can see reality for what it is.

I have found freedom, Rudrakshas helped show me the way - to balance the mind, and find balance in life.

What makes me so different?

There are a scarce number of knowledgeable experts on Rudraksha seeds, and I have learned a lot from their differing opinions on its uses and capabilities. Ancient scriptures speak of Rudrakshas and provide some instructions on them, but nothing out there really tells you what they mean, how they really work, and how they affect you.

For example, a specific Rudraksha seed is said to help you focus and achieve great success in life; another seed is said to help you in your relationships and find 'love', and so on.

What makes my approach different, is that I don't just blindly accept a Rudraksha to have said abilities and hope for the best. I use my knowledge and understanding of the metaphysical universe, Vedic civilisations, and the way they lived to give me insights to how Rudrakshas really function in our lives. More crucially, having experienced life on a wide spectrum, I offer deeper, more meaningful insights.

A bystanders' interpretation of events

There is much meaning in the notion of 'the bystander's interpretation of events'. It's a battle between a closed-minded and open-minded approach, where a third, wandering mind comes along and provides a crucial perspective which leads to discovering a new truth. It was this notion which drove me to dig deeper into Rudrakshas through applying a lateral approach. Ultimately, it helped me discover their true power and subtle nature.

With Sivamala, what I offer is all my knowledge and understanding of Rudrakshas bundled into specifically designed, and potent malas that will help you arrive at the place in which I exist - out of the storm of life, capable of dissecting reality for what it is. From this place, you can start fresh and become whatever you desire.

I dive deeper into metaphysics, Vedic civilisations, and what it means to wear Rudrakshas and what they can do in my book 'Sivamala - The Seeds of Perspective', which is provided with every Sivamala.
