Manoj (people call him a spiritual standup comedian) employs a uniquely entertaining interactive story telling style that uses Hindu/Buddhist deities in his workshops to illuminate Bhakti practices as well as deep nondual philosophy. He teaches at festivals, yoga events, his ashram and whoever wants to listen.
Manoj is an Indian-born scientist with a PhD in Chemical engineering from Cornell University. He helps individuals find their archetypes in Hindu/Buddhist Yogic deities and teaches the 5 practices to work with their archetype as a spiritual practice. Manoj has also compiled a book on the symbolisms of these deity archetypes. He draws on these deity archetypes to help people in their hero’s journey as elucidated by Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung.
Manoj is in the business of storytelling to inspire people. He has many YouTube videos with deity statues to help frame his narrations. Manoj was interviewed by the Ram Dass foundation for their podcast on "The Deities". Manoj, Kurt, Jack and Beth have created an “online ashram” under Patreon. Under Murtis and Vedanta YouTube Chanel.
Manoj teaches workshops at a physical ashram in his home in San Diego called Sakhya Bhava Ashram (where the divine is your friend). Manoj’s workshops are usually 70% lecture/group exercises, 15% archetypical deity yoga meditations, 10% Mantra chanting’s and 5% light spiritual stretches.
