Client Feedback

"I highly recommend Raj as a life coach/consultant. Raj is an intelligent and personable coach/teacher and he is a very effective communicator with highly developed intuitive and empathic abilities.
The overall framework of our one-on-one sessions was a close reading of the beautiful and wonderful Devī Māhātmya. In addition to a scholarly study and analysis of the text, we explored the spiritual wisdom teachings contained in the text and some of the devotional practices traditionally associated with the text.
Our sessions often turned into far-ranging discussions involving way more than the text. During one such session Raj helped me see a life-pattern that has sometimes clouded my view of things, which once identified and seen clearly, became much easier to address and work through. Even though our sessions primarily involved textual study, spiritual practice and philosophy, I think Raj’s balance of logic, common sense, practicality, insight and intuition will also be very effective for someone looking for coaching on personal, family, professional or business matters that ostensibly have nothing to do with spiritual practice or textual study.”

"Working with Raj is FAR better than working with any other personal or professional development professional I've ever encountered, and there have been lots. There is no issue I've presented him that he can't parse and help to process. Whether you are looking to grow as a person or expand your business Raj consistently delivers. After even one session you'll wish you'd done it sooner."

"I first discovered Raj by chance on the internet. However, as one will soon discover in working with Raj, there is no such thing as "chance" in the broader context of (big R) Reality. Raj is the ideal person to help guide you toward that Reality in a manner that is equal parts mystical and grounded in the (small r) realities of life. When I first came to Raj, suffice to say I had a LOT of questions about relationships with my family, my professional colleagues, and religion/spirituality. Right from the start, it was clear to me that Raj was a special human being who listened deeply to my stories and always responded with practical and effective advice. Moreover, he has this uncanny ability to read-you-like-a-book, but in ways that are always sensitive and compassionate. It would not be hyperbole for me to say that in the eight months I worked with Raj, my views on my relationships and the important spiritual questions of life were radically transformed in ways that I know will benefit me always."

“A spiritual journey is not a path that we venture on due to an inspirational quote or an early morning epiphany but one that generally comes from a period that is both reflective and emotional. A time when we experience loss or trauma, and we begin to look for reasons. It also occurs at a point in our souls’ journey where we seek deeper meaning to our life. And it is at this time, the universe provides us a guiding light to help navigate through that darkness.
I felt that way many months ago and through a mutual colleague, I met Dr. Raj. Offering a range of self-studies, tutorials, individual counseling, and plenty more, he gives guidance and support on our journey to enlightenment. I am so grateful to call him my teacher, my counselor, and my friend.”

“I was at a point in my life where I knew a change of direction was necessary, but felt stalled by certain patterns and beliefs that I was not even fully awake to. Raj very quickly got to the heart of an underlying issue that has had a powerful effect on shaping those beliefs. After our sessions, I had a fresh perspective, which freed me to move forward with positive changes almost immediately.”

“It freaks me out (in a positive way) how a man from Toronto can have such a huge impact on me with just 5 hours of work. Today truly represents one of the best days of my life and believe me that I'm not saying this light-heartedly. Most of the fog is going away. I forgot for so many years who I am such that I eventually lost myself. I am starting to walk towards the tracks of who I am. I may be far from being fully healed but today I have faith in my future.”

"During life, from time to time, you come to a turning point. You recognize that something in your life needs to change, and feel the urge to move forward, but at the same time, you sense yourself being pulled back towards the past. I was at such a point when I met and started working with Raj. I had only recently emerged from a long and troubling illness. I wanted to move forward and was tentatively beginning a new Hero’s Journey. But, the failures of my last Hero’s Journey left me reluctant to go forward. I was fearful of recreating the patterns of the past.
Raj did a brilliant job in helping me to see what those patterns were, and even then see how I could move forward without them. In just a few conversations, I ended my cycle with those troubling aspects of my past and moved forward with clarity and enthusiasm. Life has been very different since those conversations. I’ve restored much of my strength and power. I’m aware of my vulnerabilities, and intuitively know how to protect myself from them.
There is more ease and less forced effort in my life. I’m finding delightful new opportunities rather than stops, and each day is filled with happiness and joy as I create my new life. I’m very grateful for the help I received from Raj. So, if you are at a turning point in you life, I recommend letting Raj help you navigate it safely and triumphantly."

"My self-discovery journey was triggered in 2015 after the breakdown of an 11-year relationship. Lost and confused about what I did wrong in my life, I explored various self-discovery programs but I knew there was still something I have not addressed because I still kept regressing to a familiar place --- that is, my emotional home of anger, resentment, regrets and shame. In times of despair, we feel hopeless and disconnected from ourselves, from others and the world around us.
Raj appeared in my life when after doing some self-discovery programs, I would sit in front of my computer doing research, wondering what else I had missed. I lived like a robot for most of my life so I was oblivious to the world of spirituality. This is what Raj had opened my eyes to when he would talk about narratives I have heard of in the past but I never connected the significance of other stories to my own. He stretched my perspective to understand where I was in my journey. While I only saw the physicality and actuality of an event, he saw symbols, stories and meaning behind the actual events in my life and he would describe them so eloquently and beautifully so that I could see both my role in it and how it ties to the big picture of my journey. This is a practice I still do today whenever I am feeling lost and confused, I look at my hero's journey to understand the events that had happened in my life and how I can overcome obstacles and slay the dragon in my way.
It has been almost a year since I took Raj's program, and I have moved into my own condo in downtown Toronto last year, have made amazing connections, left my 9-to-5 corporate job months later, moved to Shanghai to teach children late last year, and currently studying psychology, while developing my own self-understanding program and writing my first book on thriving from pain to raise funds to build a holistic school for disadvantaged children in my hometown.
I am now in the stage in my Hero's Journey where I finally have the courage and wisdom to start sharing my story with those who may be stranded in the dark like I was for 20 years....May you continue your journey, find courage, wisdom and learn to accept the help from the good people you will come across, like Raj,"
