He excelled in his Vedic studies and at the age of 11 was encouraged to begin modern academic studies. A brilliant student, he earned a Ph.D in Chemistry, and enjoyed a successful scientific career.
Swamiji continued his connection to his Vedic roots, and later, presented his thoughts on the Vedas as a formal Ph.D. dissertation.

Swamiji studied Pujya Swamiji’s Bhagavad Gita Home Study Program in depth and translated it into Telugu for the benefit of Telugu knowing spiritual seekers. Swamiji is Vice President
