Fulfillment over Achievement

In 1998, while getting his master’s degree in Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, Janardhan (Jay) came to the realization that a life of fulfillment trumps a life of achievement. His search led him to understanding and researching meditation techniques, which had an immediate impact in bringing a sense of purpose and fulfillment in his life. Jay is currently based in San Francisco and has held senior positions in software companies.

He has been a personal development expert and a mindfulness trainer with the Brahma Kumaris for over 9 years. Jay regularly conducts workshops and seminars at the Anubhuti Retreat Center in Marin County, CA, besides hosting the monthly Men’s Wisdom Circle and weekly meditation meetup in San Francisco.
