Pranam everyone. My name is Karan Kaul and I live in Goa, India. I joined Vimarsha a few months ago after the conclusion of the Tripurarahasya class and caught up with it via the recordings. Thank you for keeping those up for so long. I am new to the study of Saivism. I have been a materialist all my life but sometime earlier this year, out of the blue, I developed a sudden interest in spirituality.

I started watching youtube videos on Vedanta and came across Acaryaji's discussions online, and felt an urge to connect with the Vimarsha Foundation. Then, I read Paul Brunton's 'Search for Secret India', 'Light on Tantra' by Swami Laxmanjoo, and just to broaden my knowledge, I read the Ashtavakra Gita and Ramana Maharishi's 'Who Am I?'

I am currently practicing meditation in the Theravada tradition and exploring techniques of the Vigyan Bhairava Tantra as well.

I am humbled and happy to be here. Thank you for accepting me in your midst.
