Awake

I am the Founder–Director of Darshan Shaastra Alternate Learning and Consultants Private Limited, India’s first company incorporated and dedicated exclusively to the advancement of philosophy and philosophical studies. As a Counseling Philosopher and independent researcher with a Master’s in Philosophy (and currently pursuing a Master’s in Psychology), I specialize in guiding learners through core philosophical questions related to meaning, ethics, identity, and existential reflection. I am also the author of The Art of Inner Counsel, a book centered on philosophical self-counseling for inner transformation and self-discovery. Through Darshan Shaastra, I provide one-on-one philosophical counseling services and offer certificate programs to train individuals to become Certified Consultant Philosopher® —a registered trademark and the intellectual property of Darshan Shaastra Alternate Learning and Consultants Private Limited. I also offer personalized philosophical book recommendation services and conduct weekly online sessions on deep philosophy. As an independent researcher, I am actively engaged in the development of philosophical inventories for the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of reflective data.
My teaching approach is reflective, student-centered, and rooted in dialogical learning. Whether you are preparing for academic exams, exploring philosophy as a life practice, or seeking mentorship in ethical and intellectual clarity, I offer structured, engaging sessions that blend classical thought with practical relevance. I also enjoy watching films—especially those with existential depth—and composing reflective music. I am a verified artist with an Official Artist Channel on YouTube and a Spotify-verified profile, with my music available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, JioSaavn, and other major streaming platforms. My goal is not just to teach philosophy—but to make it livable, applicable, and personally meaningful.
