MY STORY

Fifteen years ago, a man engrossed in a maze of dogma, bound by what he termed his "Mind Prison," was also navigating the complex intricacies of electronic circuits and telecommunication systems. That man was me, Saqib, an engineer by profession, a businessman with an MBA in Marketing Communications, and yet, a soul yearning for more. Had you met me then, our paths might never have crossed again. My existence was confined by a conservative mindset, shackled to religious doctrines, and layered with the predictability of my profession.

But deep within, a stirring occurred. My intuition, a voice scarcely audible, began to question, prodding my deeply rooted beliefs. This voice nudged me to undertake what might seem like audacious challenges:

To renounce my religious identity,

To bid goodbye to my steady work life,

To explore the realm of meditation,

To evolve as a meditation teacher,

To establish wholesome boundaries with my community,

To bid farewell to my homeland,

And to set foot on a new journey, moving from India to Canada.

Simultaneously, my spiritual quest expanded, not only seeking to unearth the question "Who Am I?" but also diving deep into the mysteries where science and spirituality converge. In my exploration, I delved into teachings from ancient sages like Buddha and Lao Tzu, alongside insights from modern spiritual luminaries such as Osho, Neale Donald Walsch, and Rupert Spira. Complementing this, I passionately pursued an understanding of the universe through the lens of quantum physics and the science of consciousness, guided by the works of Nassim Haramein, Robert Lanza, Amit Goswami, Rupert Sheldrake, Dean Radin, and Carl Jung.

Informed by this synthesis of knowledge, my spiritual journey took on deeper dimensions. The Himalayas beckoned, and Dharamsala became the crucible, where I honed my meditation skills at the Tushita Meditation Centre. My unique blend of engineering discipline, speaking skills, mystical insights, and scientific understanding crafted a singular approach to spirituality, showcased at the "Zorba The Buddha" meditation centre in Delhi, where I facilitated spiritual programs.

The transformation I underwent spurred a creative renaissance. With a renewed vision that bridged the logical with the ethereal, I curated and shared meditation experiences on Insight Timer, which resonated profoundly with its global community.

Today, from Vancouver, British Columbia, my mission continues: guiding souls on their inner journeys, marrying science with spirit, and illuminating paths previously considered divergent. Join me in this ever-evolving dance of science and spirituality.
