Gandhi

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 founder trustee of Sri Sivaani Foundation Charity

Professionally I work for a living in Market Research Industry. View Madhava. Turumella's profile on LinkedIn

 

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.
