MADHAVA

My friends call me as Madhava. My mother tongue is Telugu. I also can read and write German, English, Sanskrit, Urdu, Hindi and a few other  languages.

People know me through the following ways:

· As a Writer  - who writes on Indian Philosophy and contributes to telugu literature

· As a motivational public speaker -  who gives lectures on Bhagawad Gita and Philosophy

· As a Hindu Priest — who can perform all 16 Hindu samskaras including Hindu weddings and naming ceremonies  (The money that is offered to me as a priest also goes to charity causes – so this work is purely charity basis)

· As a trainee Psychosynthesis Counsellor

· As a founder trustee of Sri Sivaani Foundation Charity

Perhaps you may be visiting my site to find more about the charity we are now trying to set-up in India!!! 

Since 1990 I have been donating 15% of my annual income to charities.  I respond to request of charities case by case basis.  On the eve of every New Year day I visit Lord Shiva's temple to meditate on how I am going to spend his given money.  It is a divine agreement between me and my Lord.  He provides me every year 15% in excess for the needy.   Also the money that I raise by giving public lectures and as a Hindu Priest also go to the charitable causes.

There are millions of kind hearted souls in this world.  I want them to visit the SSF temple....  There are millions of people who are hapless and destitute living in this world.  I want them to come to SSF temple for help.

I want to make a platform available where those who can give and those who are in need to meet.  I want them to meet in a temple like atmosphere.  I want them to keep away their egos and help each other in pure surrender...  Is this dream going to be possible?!  I think so… 

Last year I went on pilgrimage to Rishikesh along with like minded friends who work in Indian Charity field. Some of them run their own charities. They have been helping me in helping those who are in need.  It is upon their suggestion that I started thinking of formalizing a charity.  It is now coming to a shape.  More and more friends are joining.  Would you like to join hands with us in building this SSF Temple?!  You are also most welcome.

 

About me in detail:

I was born in a traditional brahmin family, staunch believers of Advaita vedanta. I like reading and discussing Telugu Literature. In my childhood, I studied in Sanskrit Medium for the first 9 years of my schooling in Sri Sankara Sanskrita Kalasala, Repalle, AndhraPradesh, India.     

I am a graduate in Commerce and Business Statistics.  I did my  post graduation in computer sciences.   I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP).

At present I am studying, as a part-time student, towards my MA in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy.  I am undergoing training in The Institute of Psychosynthesis as a trainee Psychosynthesis Psychotherapist. 

After my graduation, I studied a philosophical course called Dhrarma Veera under the guidance of Swamini Saradapriyanda  at  Chinmayaranyam one of the worldwise ashrams belong to Chinmaya Mission. I lived as an inmate of the ashram for one and half years (1989-90) and learned Upanishads and Bhagawat Geeta.

After successfully completing the Dharma Veera Philosophy course, I went to "Center of Science for Villages" at dattapur, Wardha (Maharasthra State, India)., and got trained in "Low Cost Housing Engineering" . During those days I have also lived in Sevagram, Wardha, one of Mahatma Gandhi's Ashram.  After returning from Gandhi's Ashram I served as a Vedic teacher and Social worker at Chinmayaranyam for 6 months. Then I joined a job for a living in the end of 1990.

I am living in London UK for the last four years.  During my leisure time, besides studying for my  MA,  I read and write articles on Advaita Philosophy.  I am one of the founder members and consulting moderators of a philosophical discussion groups on Advaitic Philosophy called Advaitin.  Here more than 1350 seekers participate to discuss.

During the last 5 years I have developed immense interest in Psycho-spiritual Psychotherapy.    I am undergoing professional training to be a Psychosynthesis psychotherapist in The Institute of Psychosynthesis.  I practice as a Trainee Therapist in London, UK.
