What motivated you to lay the foundation of the World Human Development Center?
Human designs, human nature, and human attitude motivated me to lay the foundation of the World Human Development Center (WHDC).
What has been the turning point of your life?
After rehabilitation of village kakrava – Bhachau (Kutchh -Gujarat) I felt an earthquake is a lesson to all the citizens to become more aware in life. We must transform people from negativity to positivity. Bring all people together globally. I was already a known writer, director, actor, producer doing plays. Running a successful showroom and running an advertising company but due to the earthquake, I met Motibapa and I heard his story and that was my turning point.

My role model is my father, Lok Nayak Jayprakash Narayan and Mahatma Gandhi, and of course my Lord Shiva.

I found my life goal when I realized that I am a natural transformer, I wrote all dramas (150 one-acts and 30 full-length plays) on transformational subjects. Whenever I used to talk to people they were knowingly unknowingly transformational talks!
How do you get the patience and perseverance to constantly grow and develop leaders?
I feel that if I create 1 lakh leaders and they, in turn, transform 10000 people each, it will create a big difference in this world. I have the patience and passion to see the world transformed.
Can you give an insight on your quote ‘I is U are Universe is Me’?
I am a soul and souls are one, connected with the source. We all are one. So I felt that ‘I am You are Universe is Me’
