I am a Canadian with Indo-Caribbean heritage whose ancestors came from India as indentured labourers. They endured hardship and displacement, yet held firmly to their Hindu identity in the face of adversity.
My parents were born in Trinidad and migrated to Canada in the 1970s. Despite these journeys across oceans and cultures, we never lost sight of our roots.
Since childhood, I have been deeply involved in the Hindu community of the Greater Toronto Area — teaching tabla at Mandir, volunteering for pujas and festivals, and helping today’s youth discover the depth and relevance of Hinduism. I was part of the organizing teams for the first Hindu Youth Conference (2000) at the University of Toronto and again in 2007, moments that helped shape a new generation of Hindu voices in North America.
Today, my work has evolved to meet a changing world. I create video essays, educational content, and advocacy pieces through my YouTube channel Hindu Lifestyle and other social media platforms, where I explore Hinduism’s history, philosophy, and modern relevance. My goal is to empower Hindus to connect with their heritage, challenge stereotypes, and confidently live their dharmic values.
I continue to teach Hinduism weekly to teenagers and young adults at my local Mandir and lead workshops that encourage critical thinking, cultural pride, and spiritual growth.
Above all, I remain driven by a lifelong passion for Hinduism — to study it, share it, and help others find strength and clarity in its timeless wisdom.
