Looking Inward

A beautiful and timely guide to finding inner peace by yogi and meditation coach Purnesh.

Purnesh is an author, speaker, and spiritual guide to many around the world. He is a sought-after teacher of yoga, meditation and mantras, and an enthralling storyteller. Purnesh was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch father and an Indian mother, who played a central role in kindling in him a keen interest in the spiritual practices, cultures and philosophies of the East. The defining moment in his life came at the age of sixteen, when he met Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of the Art of Living, in whom he recognized his spiritual Master.
After completing his university studies, he left the
Netherlands and moved to India to master the Vedic knowledge, rituals and recitation of mantras and Vedic hymns. Purnesh is the name given to him by his Master, as an acknowledgement of his high state of consciousness and commitment to dedicating his life to serving others.
Having spent over ten years living the life of a monk in India, Purnesh has become a unique bridge between the East and the West. After traveling and sharing the knowledge in over 30 countries, he returned to the Netherlands. There
he now lives a simple ordinary life. Complementing each other, he now makes this ancient wisdom freely available with his dear friend Rowena, who shares the same love for the Vedic knowledge, meditation and service, through their initiative 'Just Be'.
