Chaitanya Charan is a monk, mentor and spiritual author. He received his Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering degree from the Government College of Engineering, Pune. He subsequently served as a software engineer in a prominent multinational software corporation. He also scored 2350 out of a possible 2400 in the GRE exam (the Indian equivalent of the SAT), gaining the top rank in Maharashtra.

 

Seeing the prevalent problems of stress, depression, addiction and overall misdirection – all caused by a lack of spirituality – he felt inspired to dedicate his life to the cause of sharing the spiritual wisdom of the Bhagavad-gita.

 

He travels all over the world, from Australia to America, giving talks on spiritual subjects in universities such as Princeton, Stanford, Yale and Cambridge, and companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Salesforce and Google, as well as at TedX. See Chaitanya Charan’s talks across the world
