Leo Rastogi is a mix of author, serial entrepreneur, philosopher, mindfulness mentor and spiritual scientist. A Harvard Business School alumnus with a PhD in Leadership, Leo also studied the psychological and neurobiological basis of mindfulness and meditation at Oxford University and Kings College. He also lived briefly as a Buddhist monk, capping his multiple monastic sabbatical years. Leo had profound spiritual experiences early in his life. A near-death experience in his childhood, coupled with initiation into the practice of meditation at age 12, led him on a journey of self[1]discovery, spiritual awakening and a search for his own answers to life’s fundamental questions. On this path, he explored ancient spiritual traditions, researched world cultures and philosophy, examined world religions, studied esoteric sciences, quantum physics and abstract mathematics. Over the course of two decades, Leo traveled to more than 70 countries, immersed himself in monastic experiences, led retreats at the birthplaces of great civilizations and studied with enlightened masters, one of the experiences he cherishes most in his life. Much of these he has synthesized in his two critically acclaimed books: Many Paths, Many Truths: A Journey Through the World’s Religions That Have Shaped 20th Century Humanity and Ayam: Discover Your Beautiful Self.
