LIVING WITH CLARITY, LOVE, AND PURPOSEĀ Ā 

Rishi jaigopal is a Hindu monk dedicated to helping others live with love, clarity and purpose. Although he once lived what seemed like a complete life - studies, marriage, and close friendships - an unshakable inner longing drove him to search for something deeper.

After 12 years in the international headquarters, he has moved to the United States to support Bhakti Marga's next chapter and share its message with new hearts across the country.
