I specialize in Applied Consciousness Studies within the context of Indian philosophy and Indic art. My work utilizes a proprietary Mark making → Sense making → Meaning making methodology, which operationalises classical Rasa and Rūpa Brahman theories. I share how engaging with sacred aesthetics (Form) and its functions with a structured process of kriyā yoga, can lead to psychological and ethical outcomes in minimalism and true sustainability.
