Aham Brahmasmi opens the day you join. Batch 1 goes live on Zoom on . Sign-ups for Batch 1 close on Friday 13 November at 11:59 pm IST.
With your seat Aham Brahmasmi, the entire first course: the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads and Vedanta made plain, on one question, who am I? A recorded course, 10+ hours in 50+ chapters, already taken by 1,000+ students. It opens the day you join, so it is already yours before Batch 1 goes live on 14 and 15 November.
A new course
Aham Brahmasmi, the first course, is the philosophy: who am I, read through the Gita, the Upanishads and Vedanta. This is a different course on different ground: why you keep doing what you already understand. Three more years went into it, inside the research on trauma and the nervous system, and every finding is read back against Vedanta. It goes deeper than the first.
NewAham Brahmasmi 2.0
Trauma, the nervous system, triggers, attachment and healing, each one read against Vedanta. Six stretches, from the body to the witness. Taught live first: two days on Zoom, 3+ hours each. Then released as a complete course of its own, and every seat bought now gets it in full.
Where the two touch
samskaraahankarasakshi
Three words from Aham Brahmasmi, the first course. The new course recaps each one in its own lesson and connects it.
The first course · the philosophy
Who am I, really? The name is a line from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, “I am Brahman”: you are not only the body, the mind or the ego, but the one who sees them. The course takes the Gita, the Upanishads and Vedanta from the roots and makes them plain, with stories and everyday examples: the seer and the seen, neti neti, the five sheaths, the four yogas. First the understanding, then living it: happiness, desire, ego and karma on an ordinary day.
A recorded course: 10+ hours in 50+ chapters across ten parts, in Hinglish, open the day you join. 1,000+ students have taken it.
None of it is the first course again. The first asked who you are. This one asks why the old reaction still wins after you know.
After Aham Brahmasmi reached 1,000+ students, three more years went into psychology, trauma and the nervous system, with Bessel van der Kolk, Gabor Maté and Peter Levine among the reading. Six years and 500+ books (a floor, not a count): all of it lands here.
You do not need the first course to begin. The new course starts from zero, and wherever it leans on the philosophy, I recap the idea and connect it. The entire first course, Aham Brahmasmi, still comes with your seat, if you want the roots as well.
Psychology map deti hai. Vedanta wo deti hai jo map padhta hai.
Together, on one seat. Till Diwali night a seat brings two courses for ₹999: the new course, live and then in full when it is released, and the entire first course, Aham Brahmasmi, open the day you join. From Monday 9 November the same seat is ₹1,499.
2015 to 2026
Eleven years, from an engineering college to this course. The last six went into the reading and the teaching behind it: three on the philosophy, three on the psychology.
Six years of research2020 to 2026
2015 to 2019
An engineer's training: take a thing apart until you see how it runs. Do Alfaaz, the poetry, begins in these years.
2019 to 2020
A Big Four job, the kind people dream of. I left it inside the year, to write.
Log haarkar sab chhodte hain. Humne sab jeetkar chhoda.
2020 to 2023
The Gita, the Upanishads and Vedanta, read until they could be taught to someone who has never opened them. Then five live batches and 1,000+ students; today it is a recorded course. The first batch's 50 seats went in about an hour.
2023 to 2026
The website came down. Trauma, the nervous system and attachment, read beside Vedanta and worked through on myself first. The old trigger still won, until day eight of a ten-day silent Vipassana retreat, when I cried for two hours. I did not make this from a peak; I made it from a collapse.
2026
At Banaras the Ganga turns north, as if going back toward where it began. The Psychology of Healing is that turn: a new course, taught live first, then released as a course of its own.
From the reading
Psychology, trauma and the body
Vedanta and the old texts
Philosophy, east and west
The reflection is exact. It is not the bank. You have had the reflection for years: you can describe what you avoid, calmly and correctly.
Knowing happens on one bank and moving on the other, and the second has never taken an instruction from the first. These hours are spent in the water between.
You are not short of insight. You are short of the crossing.
If that is not you, close this gently.
This is where the new course starts. Most people know theirs the moment they read it.
You argue, you correct, you control. You win the point and lose the evening.
The story: “I am only being honest.”You stay busy. Perfecting, planning, starting the next thing, so the real one never begins.
The story: “I just have high standards.”You go over it, again and again, and then go numb. Hours pass and nothing moves.
The story: “I am still thinking it through.”You keep everyone comfortable and go quiet about what you want, until you are alone in a full room.
The story: “I am easy-going.”None of these is a flaw in you. Each one kept you safe once, and it is still on duty.
From the handwritten atlas of patterns in my notes, where the new course began.
It is taught from my teaching notes, so this is the ground, not a lesson list. Each stretch is read twice: once by psychology, then by Vedanta, and each names the research it stands on.
Why this order. You can only witness what you can stay present with. So the course starts in the body, where safety is learned, goes down to the old wound, and only then climbs to the watcher. Witnessing that skips the body tends to become one more way of not feeling.
The nervous system: your body is wiser than you are.
Translated from the Hinglish of the notes. It is taught in Hinglish.
The top step. See the shape of what you keep doing, without the story you usually tell about it.
name one pull and one push, inside one ordinary hour.
Lower. What the shape is protecting. A pattern that old is being paid in some currency.
name the year it was needed.
Near the water. The part of you that stands back and sees the pattern go by, without going with it.
catch one “I am” that is really “this is happening”.
In the water. What you actually do on a flat Tuesday, once the insight has faded.
take the smallest action available, and nothing larger.
Every lesson ends on one of these small actions, before the next idea arrives.
Aham Brahmasmi
Ten parts and 50+ chapters, cut from the live batches into short lessons. The first five parts are the understanding: who am I, read through the Gita, the Upanishads and Vedanta.

Poetry is sitting with a thing for years without flinching, then saying it in the fewest honest words. That is the muscle these courses train.
कई बार दुःख
इतनी सरलता से आता है
जैसे अपने घर लौट रहा हो!
Not a promise that the pattern stops. Something smaller, and truer: a pause between the trigger and whatever you do next.
Sirf ek second. Lekin wo ek second, wo choice hai.

In their own words
Sent to me after the batches of Aham Brahmasmi and kept in the ‘Reviews’ highlight on my Instagram. Their own words and spelling, names left out; “…” marks where I shortened one.
I'm a home maker and a mom. Somewhere in day to day life and ups and downs of life has made me lost myself somewhere. … Till today morning I was clueless abt myself my journey. Now I feel so so light and filled that I can't explain.
Pehle jo colleagues aur sab logon ki wajah se hum pareshan hote the, main ye kahungi ki un log to waise hi hain, main un sabko ab ekdum alag dekhti hun. … Jo manager pehle itna chillata tha, ab everything seems sorted and Why? because I'm sorted now.
It is really like "WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR" from so long.. … Its not just lecture.. It's life..
Pehle to, me kabhi motivational cheeze nahi padhti or nahi vusske videos dekhti hu … it wasn't like motivational sessions.. … Ye do words ka jo matlab sikha he woh life time bhulne vali nahi hu me..
Itne deep divine knowledge ko itne simple way me aapne samjha diya or shyd yahi cheez aapko logo se alag or gajab banati hai. … Aapne literally daudti bhagti life me theraav laa diya.
And trust me, I enjoyed the session both the times! Second time a little more! Because the change I witnessed in me … after attending the first session was making the second session more enjoyable!
Amazing amazing 6 hours of my life .. it's actually like kisi ne aakhon k saamne se badal hata diya aur ab aasman ekdum neela dikh raha hai ..
Zindagi ki problems ke beech i lost myself somewhere aur aapne mujhe khud se mila diya. And i can never explain how liberating it's. … Also the PDFs are just perfect.
When I first joined this session I have very brief idea of karm, aatma (that too from Indian tv serials), as the ssesion progressed first my idea of everything started to melt and vanish. Then I came to know the true meaning of self.
Ab samjh aa raha hai ki samsaya bhi khud ke andar hai aur samadhan bhi. … You have changed the definition of happiness for me.
kitni easily aapne itni difficult aur complicated baton ko samjha diya.... … baki problems, confusions to chalte rahengi life me...but now I know how to tackle them smoothly
sir I just want to say thank you seriously mene bhut motivation dhundne ki koshish ki h life h … jo aj apne mujhe ek reality smjhai h na vo m kbi ni bhulungi..
The live sessions run two days on Zoom, 3+ hours each day. Afterwards the recordings come to you cleanly cut into chapters, so you can go straight to the question you came with, and back to it on a bad Tuesday.
Fourteen days to ask for the money back. One message, no reason asked.
If you can name the pattern out loud and it still runs, come down.
The philosophy, made plain. The name is a line from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, “I am Brahman”: you are not only the body, the mind or the ego, but the one who sees them. The course takes the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads and Vedanta from the roots, with stories and everyday examples: the seer and the seen, neti neti, the five sheaths, karma, the four yogas. First the understanding, then how to live it on an ordinary day: happiness, desire, ego.
It is a recorded course in ten parts, 10+ hours in 50+ chapters, in Hinglish, with a 49-page course book to revise from, and 1,000+ students have taken it. It opens the day you join, and it is not required for the new course.
No. It is a new course on new ground: trauma, the nervous system, triggers, attachment, people-pleasing, shadow work and healing. The first course was the philosophy. This one is the psychology, built over three more years. It is taught live first, 6+ hours over two days on Zoom, and then released as a complete course of its own. Every seat bought now gets that course in full.
No. The new course starts from zero. Wherever it leans on the philosophy, I recap the idea in that lesson and connect it, so nothing is assumed. The entire first course comes with your seat anyway, if you want the roots as well.
No. The first course asked who you are. This one asks why the old reaction still wins after you know, and answers with psychology read against Vedanta. Where it touches the first course, it is a short recap, not the first course's lessons again.
Both, on one seat for ₹999 until Diwali night, Sunday 8 November. The Psychology of Healing (Aham Brahmasmi 2.0, the new course) and Aham Brahmasmi (the first course, the philosophy: a recorded course, 10+ hours in 50+ chapters) come together. From Monday 9 November the same seat is ₹1,499.
No, you do not pay again. The new course is taught live first: two days on Zoom, 3+ hours each, 6+ hours of new psychology. When it is released as a complete course of its own, every seat bought now gets it in full at no extra cost, the first seat and the thousandth alike. The 10+ hours of Aham Brahmasmi, the philosophy, are yours from the day you join. No release date is set yet.
It is free, and it is unordered. What is paid for here is the order: six years of reading put into one sequence, the philosophy first and the psychology after it, with one small thing to do at the end of every lesson.
The research is named, and you can read it yourself: Bessel van der Kolk on how the body keeps trauma, Peter Levine on somatic experiencing, Richard Schwartz on the parts of us that hold old patterns, Gabor Maté and Pete Walker on childhood and complex trauma. Stephen Porges's polyvagal theory is taught as a useful lens, because researchers still debate it. The research is theirs. Reading it through Vedanta is mine.
Most people do not. We counted our own internal run, student by student, and 81% finished. The figure for online courses is usually put near one in ten; I did not measure that. The lessons are short by design, each ending on one small action.
Theory is the far bank, and you already have the view. The 6+ hours of new psychology, taught live, are about why understanding does not get across, and each lesson finishes with one small action.
I taught it live, five batches. Recordings stayed up for seven days, and people said hours at a time were more than they could carry. They asked me to keep it, so I cut it into short lessons you keep for life. The new course is taught live first.
In Hinglish, the way I actually talk. Most lessons run about twenty minutes. It lives on TagMango, where you buy it.
Aham Brahmasmi is a whole course in its own right: 10+ recorded hours in 50+ chapters, already taken by 1,000+ students. It sits on the same seat as the new course.
Two courses on one seat for ₹999 is the Diwali launch offer, until Sunday 8 November, 11:59 pm IST. From Monday 9 November the same seat is ₹1,499.
Paid once, kept for life.
₹999 holds both courses until Diwali night, Sunday 8 November, 11:59 pm IST. Then ₹1,499 for both. Sign-ups for Batch 1 close on Friday 13 November.
Your seat is paid once, on TagMango. Aham Brahmasmi opens the moment you join, and Batch 1 is live on Zoom on 14 and 15 November. Until Diwali night the lowest step holds both courses: the new course in full, and the entire first course.
