Why I Chose This Life

What does a normal day look like after 12 years of living in an ashram? In this video, I take you through a real, unfiltered day of my life here — from my morning routine to seva, to moments behind the scenes filming and connecting with people around the space. But this isn’t just about a daily routine. After over a decade of being here, what stands out to me isn’t just the lifestyle — it’s the scale of what’s happening. The number of lives being touched, the intensity of the work, and the presence of something much bigger than any one individual. From the outside, it might look simple. But living here, you begin to see the depth, the dedication, and the intention behind everything. This is a glimpse into both — the ordinary moments of a day, and the extraordinary nature of what’s being built over time.
