His books have been published by Burnstown Publishing House, both of which focus on spiritual awakening, meditation and elevating human consciousness.
His first book, The Golden Link to Oneness, won the 2015 Living Now Book Award in the Spirituality and Enlightenment category and the Canada Book Award. In 2016, he received the Assistant Director's Medal for his work in the Government of Canada for creating a successful workplace meditation program, teaching employees stress-reduction meditation in the workplace.
Since early 2016, he began writing his first screenplay as well as his first novel. He's been involved in creating and producing a transformative reality television series and produced and directed a grassroots documentary called "Finding Purpose".
He returned to India in October of 2017 to take an intensive and traditional Hatha yoga teacher training program and now teaches yoga classes as well as leading workshops and retreats focused on yoga, meditation and spiritual awakening. He's a recognized yoga instructor with NRG2GO and travels to international resorts as a guest instructor.
