Listen to hear Ajay’s reflections on love and service, about the importance of being instead of doing, about our inter-connectedness and the power of living the example.

Ajay was born into a working-class immigrant family from India. A deep spiritual calling led him to become a monk in his late teens, where he spent almost a decade in service, spiritual practice, and deep reflection on how to realize a healthy, conscious, and balanced society. He transitioned out of monastic life to apply his commitment to service and belief in the power of catalyzing change agents to lead a number of mission-driven organizations at the forefront of consciousness and social change. Along with serving as a guide and coach, Ajay is the founder of The Bhakti Society, a nonprofit he founded to support people in their spiritual journeys through sharing the teachings of Bhakti. His passion lies in supporting others in unlocking their full spiritual potential. Connect to learn about the Synergos Global Philanthropists Circle and Ajay’s Blog.
