I am of the opinion that spiritualism at some point should marry certain aspects of religion,” he explains. One can say he wouldn’t want to be religious, but would like to be spiritual. “Spirituality does not show an external expression of one’s beliefs whereas religion does. In other words, it is a belief system that one associates with in oneself, and spirituality is the product. Today, my profession is continuing to keep me busy, peaceful and happy,” he says contentedly.ĭefining the term spiritualism, Dushyanth says it is closely associated with the philosophy one affiliates with. “There was barely anyone in India giving religious lectures.

Schools and colleges are not able to instil the need for love and affection for one’s society. “I wouldn’t wish it away as the education system is not robust in its value system. He is a path breaker and thus a path finder.” Speaking of the rise of such stalwarts within spiritualism, Dushyanth explains why he wouldn’t have it any other way. Mahatria is a constant revelation unto himself as well as life. It further adds, “He has brought meditation to the common man, and in his presence, thousands have experienced the depths of silence.
